History/Background

I think there could be more information on the history of Marine Plastic Pollution ad how much it has changed in the lat decade or longer than that. It should include more information on direct effects in the marine life and how that can directly affect human life as well. There is so much damage done from marine plastic that affects so much of other lifeforms that should be discussed in the history to get more insight on how it is rising and affecting life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by K1carter (talk • contribs) 22:53, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New content was added by a student about climate change and air pollution

Recently new content was added by a student (User:K1carter) about climate change and air pollution here: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Marine_plastic_pollution#Climate_change_and_air_pollution_aspects . I did a quick fix of the text but currently don't have time to delve into it further. However, I find the description of the issues a bit messy - is it about plastics in general or marine plastic pollution in particular? Needs further work.
