- Мама!
- Что, Игорь?
- Представляешь, какой кошмар я вычитал в Интернете! Оказывается, в Тихом океане образовался новый континент из мусора!
- Что? Как это – новый континент из мусора?
- Там в воде плавает огромное скопление отходов: пластика, бутылок и всего такого. Все это мусор, выброшенный человеком в море.
- А при чем здесь континент?
- Это огромное образование, по территории его можно сравнить с целой страной, даже с континентом!
- А как оно могло образоваться? Что-то я не понимаю.
- Океанические течения несут мусор на определенную территорию. Получается колоссальная свалка в океане. Морские животные глотают пластик и погибают!
- И, наверное, это свалка увеличивается?
- Конечно, мама, а как ты думала? Мусор-то выбрасывают!
-Какой ужас! Нужно строить мусороперерабатывающие заводы! Везде! В каждом городе!
- И перерабатывать мусор, а не делать свалки?
- Да, особенно весь этот пластик! И тогда не будет таких жутких «континентов»!
