Ocean bacteria might help clean the oceans from plastic.
We may not see them but the results of our throw-away culture are killing the oceans' inhabitants. Enormous patches of plastic trash lure ocean animals into mistakenly taking it for food. Albatrosses fly tens of miles to feed their young with colorful plastic debris, sea lions wear necklaces of plastic bags and sea turtles grow with mutated shells because of plastic rings that once got stuck around their bodies.
