The above image is an art installation created by Greenpeace Philippines in May 2017 to raise awareness to the problem. See below for an image of the whale this story is about.
A sperm whale was discovered washed ashore lifeless after swallowing 64 pounds of plastic debris. The male sperm whale was found on the Murcian coast in southern Spain in late February, reminding us how critical plastic waste within the oceans has turn into.
After investigating, the El Valle Wildlife Rescue Center decided that the sperm whale was killed by gastric shock to its abdomen and intestines after ingesting 64 pounds of plastic. The post-mortem discovered plastic bags, nets, ropes, plastic sacks, and even a plastic jerrycan within the whale’s abdomen and intestines.
Oh wow that’s messed up
Save the whales and quit littering
Plastic sucks
its not actually a whale, it seems. It appears to be a controversial sculpture made entirely of trash to represent the plastic infecting and killing our oceans.
and your source is?
If people didn’t litter we wouldn’t have this problem.
Wtf
This Is Sad But as U Can See Its Made Put Of The Party Papers And A Blue Painted Button For The Eyes
I think that this is a very sad and unfortunate thing .
Just wow
That’s sad they do need to clean the ocean and not throw plastic in the water mammals and animals lives are important to just as human lives
Don’t be lazy and take milla second of your time to keep it as clean as everyone can .
We also don’t have to throw out every plastic bag we get, you can reuse a plastic bag for carrying stuff in it many, many times.
Really interesting article.
This is sad and all but are we just not going to talk about how many FUCKING ads there are? Also, screw you and your slideshow format, I hate it and you just want to make more money.
That’s really sad!! People get a grip.Quit littering.
Had to read this for RacingRivals Gems lol
THATS ridiculous can’t imagine to its like swim in the filthy water and then they’re slowing dying
That’s heartbreaking and crazy how the whale had so much plastic inside of him
Yeah
Very sad, you would think he just ate them because they looked different. Not cool, I never litter. My console is my mobile garbage can. Be wise ya’ll, respect our planet.
this is terrible 🙁
That is terrible
Yea
It’s crazy how people will read this and think “That’s so sad” and “That’s terrible” but then up throwing something small like a candy wrapper out of the window without thinking twice while going down the road because of a habit. People say we need to change but then wait on someone else to make the first move. If we all wait for someone else to change the world, we’ll never get anything done and the world will get even more polluted than it is now. Pick up your trash even if it don’t belong to you. We’ll never be able to make a difference if only a few people pick up one or two pieces of garbage. We all need to work together.
You’re right
If we see garbage along side the road we dont typically pick it up. Its gross and we dont know where it’s been. But imagine if everyone would make a goal of picking up 5 just 5 pieces of garbage a day and throw it in the trash. Over 300 million people in USA do the math. But we see these as holes who will just throw garbage out of there car. I will scream at people who do that. I figure if you embarrass them they won’t do it again. So there we go. See people tossing garbage out of there car make it a very loud point to let everyone know there disgusting pigs it will hopefully make them think again before doing that. Then we all pick up 5 or more pieces of trash a day well were on the way to helping. Let’s do something to make america first in that we can be proud of instead of best weapons to kill people or the last country the company Johnson and Johnson the people who make baby soap or shampoo. They put formaldehyde in there products. It causes cancer and all kinds of life destroying crap. For innocent babysitters. They held off taking it out of there product so they can keep making hundreds of millions. This world has some serious problems if they will go to that level to make money. Anyway sorry about the long message.
Your response is what is needed but unfortunately these days screaming at someone driving down the road or anywhere else could end up with you being shot by some deranged Pycho. Some freeways you take your life in your own hands just by accidentally going to slow or for just driving under a bridge at the wrong time. I would rather take down a liscence plate than risk getting killed over a piece of gum wrapper and isn’t that a sad state our country has turned into.
There is nothing to be sorry about.
I agree with you. I’m working with you.
Absolutely! I do just that! ..it doesn’t matter where I am, if I see trash (it is just ugly) I start picking it up. I don’t know who put it there or however the wind/storm blew it there, if I don’t like it I’m in a country that allows me the freedom to pick it up. Everyone is also capable of doing this same thing. The colorful plastics laying all over look junky and make a beautiful scenery into something so ugly you’d turn your head away. My husband & I often have disagreements on this exact issue…for ex. I have just filled a trash bag with junk I’ve cleaned that belongs to someone else, yet on the way home HE THROWS A STYROFOAM CUP OUT THE WINDOW! Talk about disrespectful! Not only to me but everybody’s kids, even yours, all generations behind us. These kids nowadays too busy playing digital brain rot 2 notice anything. We have to b examples to lead them on the right path. Don’t make it a chore cleaning earth, make it a positive memory and it will last. Plz help me y’all
Very interesting story
The poor thing…
Cool
Very good material is ver y important know about this problem
Wow…We should really think before any action this is sad and maybe we need to get out of this bad habit of throwing garbage around.
how do i go to the next page o.o
We, as humans, are supposed to be intelligent and should be caring for all living things. WAKE UP PEOPLE! I try very hard to keep the people close to me responsible. We have to stop being a throw-away society.
Truth!
Nothing will change unless the heart of man changes!
Sad
Key words being “supposed to”. Tragic .
SO true!!!
Absolutely
You are absolutely right!
Goodh
Non kidding
Agree totally, plastics should not be used unless recyclable
Yes agreed
So agree with everything you said.
So true!
Horrible
That article is heartbreaking… the US is still behind when it comes to environmental issues and ecology
yes. Very true!
I agree 100%. That’s why people should start recycling instead of dumping in public. Would you live like this at home? No you’d tidy up after yourself!
i will only use pet bags which can be recycled otherwise i will take my own heavy bag to grocery stores from now on
Me too
Just sad
Wow.. We are failing our jobs that God gave us.
This is so sad. It’s not hard to throw garbage in a garbage can. People can be so careless.
I’m saddened to see that California is the only state in the US that has banned plastic bags. I try and use recyclable every time I visit the grocery store. I think this is a bigger issue that needs more attention
plastic bags are not banned in California. They’ve gotten rid of the thin old fashioned grocery store type bags that they used to give you for free and now if you want a bag you have to pay $0.10 but it’s still a plastic bag, and much thicker than the old ones. I don’t see a huge conscious effort on a majority of Shoppers to bring their own I don’t see a huge conscious effort on a majority of Shoppers to bring their own bags. They just buy new ones every time . I believe the thicker plastic bags are just a way to make more money off of shoppers, but keep in mind they are still plastic and they are more heavy-duty so aren’t they going to take even longer than the typical 10,000 years to decompose? Aren’t we making this problem worse? But hey it’s $0.10 a bag to the store so why not
I was shocked to see this as well.
we should look at our planet but the big money man don’t care
And I thought all that plastic has been being recycled! Which company lied, got paid, and then dumped?
I think it’s a shame but at the same time it’s human nature to destroy the lesser species sad but True!
Poor journalism. You’re using a picture that is not a sperm whale as your main picture. It’s a false picture that can lead people to believe the article is false. For those who don’t know, sperm whales are toothed whales not baleen whales.
Poor whale rip
That’s a wonderful story and I’m glad countries are doing something about it. Now if only the U.S. would. Maybe we could get together and make plastic anything recyclables for money,people would do it and not trash our lands and rivers or oceans. Please help us to do what’s right and smart.
Wow
This is disgusting and disheartening! Why is trash being thrown into the ocean to begin with?
:((
Omg
People need to start being smarter and safer and think about the world gor future generations
What a terrible species we have become.
Egg
What a shame
Wow. Plastic crap in the ocean is REALLY starting to make every animal in the ocean and almost EVERYWHERE die.
[email protected]
Blame humans ok. But from what I remember the government pushed plastics as a better thing. Buy water in plastic bottles it is easy to recycle yada yada yada. I mean the government does allow for soda to put in multiple sizes of plastic bottles . Toys have more plastic ties in Them than needed. The list goes on and on.
Please recycle
Sad
Harsher consequences for these ignorant acts
Krazy
Just throw your junk in the right place the garbage.
This pic is fake?
Thank you for bringing this to light.
It’s ships dumping there garbage out to sea. It’s not the everyday person causing this mess.
poor whales 🙁
We should ban plastic altogether, we do not need plastic, companies simply use it because it is cheap however we as consumers need to turn away from profiting corporations who do not care about the well being of the environment.
Bad!
The change starts with us as a whole so let’s do it.
We need to keep our Country clean
Sad
Free stars!
People need to pay more attention to the things they do. Couldn’t even imagine how long this poor creature was suffering for.
More plastic than fish in ocean by 2050. This is shameful
It’s sickening
So sad people have not awakened!
I don’t drink bottled water I drink tap for this very reason plus the fact it is proven bottled water isn’t all its cracked up to be ..people need to to notice
Wow that’s awful
I understand and am appalled by the waste dumped into the earths waters (oceans, lakes, ponds, etc.) daily and hope somehow it can be resolved quickly before there is continuous loss of aquatic life. That being said… has anyone noticed that this is not a sperm whale? It has baleen, such as in a blue whale. It’s a poor betrayal but gets the point across.
Sad! We just need to keep working on responsibility, of ourselves & our kids! It’ll never change if we all don’t work together!!
I think that man needs to clean up the mess it has made of the seas,land and the air.
We were given a beautiful planet and progress or technology have ruined this world with garbage. It was better when u didn’t have all this technology. We have destroyed our planet and need to clean up our planet it is not to late. Before we lose another speciousto our stupidity and technology.
No
Wow
Wow
Sad
This is fake lol. Art project
I hope to hell I get my fucking gold this motherfucker promised me
This is heartbreaking
The only words for this: sad and pathetic.
I’ve been reading that plastic straws are no longer being offered in restaurants in California as a wildlife protection measure. Each step humans take in the direction can’t come soon enough. We have been using plastic grocery bags as we reuse them to bag our garbage. I’m not sure what to use for garbage if not plastic.
I think that’s just horrific. People are so self serving.
Pretty lousy how far we’ve declined environmentally. I expect this unfortunately to get much worse before it improves. Let’s hope we can wake up before it is far too late.
Very sad
Good read
Very sad
Sad
Boring
Sad stuff
Actually, i knew this was gonna happen.
D bye fg
The fact that things like this are happening and we as a planet let alone a country arent doing all we can is do dissapointing. Our children are going to be left with so many mistakes to correct
Smh
Nigger big gay
Wow! This problem needs to be addressed. We, humans, need to pay attention more to a solution.
You’re all actually stupid. That’s a sculpture of a whale made out of garbage by an artist. LUL
So, the photo was doctored for dramatic effects, how’s that going to convince people this is a real problem?
good site earn
First step in change is doing what you can to make a difference
I was so so sad and really honestly I was shocked to discover this and to see a picture of that poor well I am going to be raising my own bags when I go to the grocery store reusable
Just aweful. .
As caretakers of this world for future generations, we really need to learn to do a better job.
So sad
This makes me totally ashamed of the human race. Will we ever change? If we don’t, I feel the Earth will somehow treat us as an infection and terminate us all. Basically that’s what we have become, an infection, it’s really sad.
We are a DISGUSTING species…We destroy everything we touch…We even litter in space!
Paper or plastic?…
I think the whole world needs to do its part in the clean up and prevention of waste in the water systems.
When I go to a beach, looking for sea glass, I try to remove dangerous items from the beach so they won’t float out in the water again.
It is awful that man is killing the animals & earth so when the earth can no longer take it and gives in dies what happens then? Are we not killing ourselves? Sad
This is horrible
Sad
Ban the use of plastic bags everywhere, bring your own cloth bags. RECYCLE! DON’T LITTER!
That’s crazy how human being could be stupid. Too bad for the whale and other animals.
☹️
We have to do better.
Nice to know
I live in a rural area and pick up lots of trash from fast food restaurants. If fast food places could be regulated to not use plastic bags, spoon,straws etc. it might lower the amount of plastic thrown out
People need to learn not to litter period.
I was unaware of the severity of our pollution levels and it’s affects on marine life.
This is getting out of hand in the or in tired is happening and no one caring bout it
So very sad what we are doing…and what we’re not doing
Great article
Sad
I will stop buying plastic bags
People needs stop throwing trash in the ocean, live animals live there. They needs start putting trash cans by every ocean or beach
People needs stop throwing trash in the ocean, live animlas live there.
I think people should be taken more care of what their doing and what their throwing away any where if we dont stop and take a good look at whats going on around us this planet and all the animals and mamals will disappear and eventually it will be us also so clean up your act this is the only world we have and theres no seconds chamces
Wishdjxibdhduaobdhdhsiajajajajakakakakakkak a ok do those idk looks ahkwyhh
Really is sad that our wildlife are not safe in their own environment. We all need to stop and think before we discard anything, it going to be recycled or just put in a landfill where it can be blown away in a tornado or washed away by a flood, where it ends up in our oceans and seas!
Sad. Plastic should be banned world wide
Would love to see more regulations to help prevent this
The first photo of the whale is not even real. It’s made out of plastic bags to make people realize what they’re doing. Google it.
Sad
I really hope we continue to look for alternatives but focus on how to clean up what is already there.
This is just sad!! I lived right by Monterey. Took my girls to the beach one day and as soon as we got there noticed a huge crowd. A baby whale washed up on shore. They tried to save it but it was too late. It was horrible having to explain to my little ones why this beautiful creature had to die.
This is sad come on ppl let’s do something about this
agreed! it’s disgusting in all honesty .
This is absolutely uncalled for wake up people
If we’re done believing everything we see on the internet now, this is an art installation in the Philippines from last year. Pollution is a problem, which is the point of the installation, but the story is false
Thanks for the enlightening article. I had no idea.
It’s crazy ggrjk,brtrnk
I never really gave it any thought but omg… I will now..
Use of plastic bags should be banned in all states. Our planet is in jeopardy.
This so sad …. people just don’t think of the consequences when they do something.
The main cause is from the people throwing their plastic wastes into the city water in whatever country it said. I am sure that the U.S. has a small impact but nothing like the under developed countries.
Horrible
Yes
I m here to collect dia
One person spoke of the plastic bags costing us a dime and are thicker which they are that is why I get them for my garage sale and to reuse at whatever markets i shop at.
I think it may be a good idea to put up pictures of a dead whale and signs at all oceans and beaches and make it be an unlawful thing
This is insane
This is very sad! They already get killed by other countries and now we are killing the. I feel as if there should be a biodegradable material that someone could come up with to replace plastic
So sad
That’s said there nice animals
Heartbreaking
Call of people stop being so mean
Now that we are becoming educated about what our plastic trash is doing, let’s get the trash businesses to lobby Congress as well as civic groups.
Wow people need to be more aware
Wow very interesting article I never knew this. How messed up
wow
WhT happen to ppl recycling an not throwing it in the ocean
God created this earth and humans. But he said that he would bring to ruin those ruining the earth. Unfortunately it is man who is destroying the earth and killing the beautiful creatures God put here for our pleasure. Soon those people will be no more and this earth will be a gorgeous paradise where only people who love and respect the earth and all that lives in it forever.
Sad
Wow
This artículo es muy affect to know
Come on people
We all need to do our part before it’s too late.
Truth
How sad. We all need to do our part to keep the earth a clean and healthy place. We can all make a difference with a little effort.
That’s sad
Why can’t we push the use of all plastics in for cement production? We really need to look into these kind of innovations and make use of them for the sake of our environment.
Smh people need to learn to keep the earth clean
True
This makes me so sad. I was taught where to put my trash and my children know where trash goes as well. This is just a shame.
We should all go back to paper bags
So sad to see how our need for convenience is effecting the planet
I cant believe what i just saw. Something has to be done. Ive been see tjey are making bag.(made by plant). Degradeable.
I feel bad, sigh.
Disgusting how inconsiderate people are with trash!
Yep
Time for change
How is all this plastic, much of which can be recycled, ending up in our oceans anyway? Maybe that is an issue that needs addressing!
The children of today must be taught to recycle ♻️ and hopefully if we do it around the world this will reduce the plastic being dumped into not only oceans, but lakes, rivers and streams.
Not just plastic bags, it’s garbage in general. We as Humans have to stop polluting our beautiful waters and harming Mother Earth. I just on YouTube how they had to pull a straw out of a turtle’s nose. I’m sure we can find a solution to throwing away less waste then to making more of it.
This is just sad.. I could stand people who throw stuff in the ocean or outside on the ground.. it’s sick and kills animals all the time.. grow up people and throw trash where it goes save our animals and our earth..
We need to be more self conscious of how we treat the earth.
Each country needs to be involved in creating a solution to this problem, like fining anyone caught throwing plastic in ocean, lakes, streams etc. Creating a fleet of ships, boats etc. to do the same job garbage men do on land only this will be on water and with the taxes each country collects off of plastic bags, bottles etc. can pay the wages of the people who are cleaning up the mess of
plastic that we created.
Something needs to be done.
Extremely sad !
I think we should take care of this world by cleaning up after ourselves,throw away your garbage it not only affects the animals but it affects us too,the world and the oceans are beautiful let’s keep it that way for our future families and friends, furry,not furry, wings and none we are all responsible so let’s get out there and do something about it so ocean creachers and other animals don’t get hurt or die
It’s wonderful for everyone to want to clean up the oceans, But we must remember how many years it took to destroy & that cleaning it will not just happen over night!!!! It will take a long time and a very long up hill battle to succeed.
This is so sad and appalling! Unfortunately, I can’t say that I am blameless when it comes to recycling as much as I probably could. The story has changed the way that I will recycle and use plastics from now on now. Thank you for sharing this story. It has opened my eyes.
All plastic should be banned
Wake up people we are destroying nature…
We throw away things we should already have changed so the earth won’t be ruined by our civilization. Then we hang on to things that we should throw away . Idiots. I’m sorry earth. You have my permission to heave us all off of you and splatter us into the sun.
Until the love of money from greedy corporations and our government is addressed and resolvedl they will not stop making / selling plastic & other deadly items such as styroform, etc. They do not care about anything but theirbank accounts. Our veterans, our children, our elderly, our sick & disabled people….. no one matters to them. If they don’t care about people…. our precious wildlife has no chance.
Big start – dispose of trash correctly.
Very sad
Sad and frustrating!
Heartbreaking
Sad
Very true
Poorv hles
Wow..how mind blowing to see the effect of the careless action of ungrateful humans
So said what we are doing to these creatures and so many others. Irritating that humans are to lazy to use a trash can
This is just shocking! How could this have ever happened. Don’t people think about where that stuff is going. Bring your garbage home with you,a,d dispose of properly!
This is very saddening.
That is so sad……
Thats so sad. We all need to do our part with helping to clean up the polluted areas.
Sad
OMG…this is so sad and horrific. There was a time many years ago when we didn’t use plastic bags, bottles, or containers. We did fine without them then and I believe we can do fine without them again. I say ban the use of plastics and save our environment.
Sarella
It starts not only with immediate change and committment, but education as well. Teach your children respect for the environment. Lead by example. Every little bit counts….we all need to do alot better…we all CAN do a lot better.
Tragic and disgusting that we as humams lack compassion for other living creatures. This is not our planet to destroy but our responsibility to care for it. We can do and be better!
That whale is fake. It’s literally paper machete. Just Google search Whale Art project Greenpeace. Not even in Spain like the article says…Don’t believe everything you see.
Like… Everything about the autopsy, washing up on shore, obviously all fake. As if a whale would just wash up on shore and spill all of the trash out of its mouth..
This is sad & should be addressed now.
I think plastic is a serious problem.
Heartbreaking…
That is ridiculous… Just sad!
It’s absolutely horrific the way the magnificent beasts are treated. Truly appalling
We kill more things for our convenience. I,m guilty too but I am working on my footprint and sustainability. Go luck to all of us.
Sad
I don’t know what people don’t understand about the use of plastic is completely unnecessary
Thay should clean it vary fast
it’s just very sad
Sad story
How awful! I had no idea this was going on.
Absolutely heartbreaking, we all need to do our part.
With all the BS in this world it’s hard to believe we haven’t destroyed everything! I think it’s just a matter of time before mankind allows this to happen! Thank GOD for His patience!!! Are we really the smartest?????? God Bless is all!!! How can we all be sooooo cruel to this world and everything in it???
This is so sad
Informative
All coastal cities should get those water wheel trash collector!!! Help our planets animals survive!
This is so sad
So sad
I feel so sorry for the animals
So sorry
About the poor whale it’s so easy to put recycle in the recycle receptricle. Am I right?
Sad
We should stop using plastic bags
we should stop using plastic instead we can use shopping bag of jute
Looks fake
It’s paper machete
Sad. 🙁
It’s a real shame that people don’t have enough respect for other people and animals to put their trash in a trash can, a sack or anywhere else that isn’t on the ground, in the Oceans, in lakes, in ponds or elsewhere. PLEASE HAVE ENOUGH RESPECT FOR THE PLANET THAT YOU LIVE ON!!!!!
So sad, what are we doing to our planet:(
I think all of the plastic products should be banned nation wide. They are so dangerous for our marine life.
So sad
Awesome
Trudesu has not moved on this yet!
Am I the only one thinking…..That whale looks fake as hell!
people these days wow
Truly heartbreaking
Mmm…
What a huge loss for our children. Before we know it marine life will be just a myth
We know enough about recycling that we should all be using fabric or reusable bags! There’s no reason for this 🙁
It horrible what’s happening to them
Sad just sad is what it is
THE FIRST WHALE IS NOT A SPERM WHALE!!! IN THE PICTURE IT HAS BRISTLES A SPERM WHALE HAS TEETH THE SECOND PICTURE WAS A SPERM WHALE SEE THE SHAPE OF ITS HEAD AND IT’S COLORING IF THEY CAN’T GET THE SPECIES OF WHALE RIGHT HOW CAN YOU TRUST THEM ABOUT SOMETHING BIGGER!!!
Very sad though bit theres nothing the average person can do im not made of money I can’t fund a billion dollar clean up rich people dont care about stuff lile this it’s a shame
Yeah it’s not even real. It’s a paper machete replica made my Greenpeace. This whole article is fake.
Makes you really think, and I thought I was doing my part by recycling weekly, and using my store bags for my bathroom garbage and litter
This is a serious problem
Sad
Interesting and sad
Interesting
This is AWESOME that people are finally realizing we need to clean up out mess…everyone has gotten way to complacent about just throwing garbage anywhere and everywhere.We are destroying our own planet and GOD’S creatures who we share it with and it’s disgusting and disturbing yet we have only ourselves to blame.its time to wake up and be responsible.
People should really watch out for what they are doing they are killing nature
God said take care of this world
True
The poor thing…..
Sad. We have to be concerned about all living things.
Thats nuts
This isn’t cool.
Sucks
Sucks
They should get more police to protect the whales and research
They should get more police and research for the whales with scientists
Sad
Very sad
Very sad
So very sad that beautiful whale , a magnificent creature wasted away because of our vanity !
This is so upsetting
I think America needs to go back to basics and remember it is against the law to litter !
You have to get people to care about the Earth again give them information about ocean creatures. there used to be an old commercial of an Indian standing by the Riverside with one tear in his eye looking at the pollution going down the river which was once a beautiful and was now getting destroyed. Everyday there are new diseases discovered and it takes a while to find out what caused it. After the sea creatures are destroyed who knows what else will be destroyed maybe us, do we really want to take that chance?
I think we as a whole need to recycle more. What is our earth becoming . pollution not only kills and harms animals but us humans too
Yumm
This is upsetting and cruel! We can do better.
It would be amazing to have all plastic biodegradable by 2030, although this is something we should have done years ago, I guess better late then never.
Save the whales
Great Info !!
Tnx
Very interesting
Thank you for the article. The plastic problem is worse than I thought.
This is REALLY sad. We need to stop it ASAP!
HEY guys kdndjdndndjdiejdbdbdndjdijdvdhdu
Plastic isn’t the only problem! It’s the people who throw trash into our waterways! Huge fines and mandatory jail sentence should be put in place to help deal with this issue!!
I would like to know businesses are doing this to our waters and affecting the water life.
This is so sad.. I just hate to see any animal or reptile, mammal our earth is what it is because we are meant to live together.. The lions, the giraffes that are shot is ridiculous … And recycling is something easy you just have to have a heart! Sad!
So sad
Thats true
Stop littering!
Always remember to throw away your trash those poor sea creatures getting hurt because our lazyness shame on all who liter on the beach take responsibility.
Great article
Good
What a waste to our nature. Why are pladtivs being dumped in the ocean to begin with and why are the nations allowing it?
Sad!
I feel like a total scum for not using reusable containers. I never realized that the problem was this bad. Of course, we can all do our part and the next tsunami will toss a ton+ back in the water we are trying to get clean.
So very sad…
The
Very sad
Yes we need to watch what we throw away and where we throw it
this is sad and we could fix it
Sad!
Everything that was said is so true!!! Humans have to be taught to throw shit out! It all boils down to good parenting
wow
Sad… this is sad
Saddening. I’m cutting out plastic in my family now!
We throw away so much
It’s truly sad, I know we can do better. Imagine If the ocean threw it’s trash on the earth…Do better so we can be better.
Imagine the Ocean’s residence through their trash on land. Do better, you’ll feel better.
Shamefull !!
So sad
This is just inhumane. How much effort does it take to throw it away in a trash can?
So sad
This is photoshopped you sheep!
How sad
Interesting
I take my own bags in to fill up with my food
We need to be more courteous… especially towards our sea family.
We seriously need to care more about our planet and really be conscious of how our little piece of trash we throw away improperly quickly adds up to a great big mess with the little pieces of trash other people throw away improperly.
This is just sad
Awesome article!
Stop polluting people!
So sad. We need to be more conscious of what we do.
Crazy
Dagn
Yay
Sad things for the whale
We were on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean and saw massive trash pools …disgusting….i was taught as a child not to throw trash, gum, anything on the ground, let alone in our seas and oceans…
Whoever wrote this article needs to take a few writing courses. Poor grammar and sentence structure does not enhance the credibility of a “journalist” when discussing a serious situation. If a person can’t take the time to spell correctly or construct sentences that make sense, why should I believe they have taken the time to research their chosen subject matter!
So sad.
Nice article I was really into it
Nice Article I was really into it
That’s every sad. There should be something set in place to protect our sea life.
So sad what humain is doing to mother nature…. we should respect more
Sad
Very sad.
This is a very sad story.
Wow. HEarrtbreaking
Just looking for my diamonds
Very sad
..
This just shows you how uncaring the people in this world can be
Wow how can this happen? I’m sure someone will come up with a way to clean it up. So sad.
Let’s all do our part.
Interesting, we need to be cleaned in the wild!
Recycling last 45 years but only 10 to 15 % of recyclables are gathered and processed I have heard. Humanity can do MUCH better. We belong to the earth. The earth does not belong to us.
Good info
Heard someone said supposed to, that seems to be being said alot more as decades go on. Come on people what Happened to working together as one?
Ridiculous. People need to change. End of story
So sad 🙁
So sad. This should not be happening
Heartbreaking
Very sad.
So sad. Plastic is so wasteful
SAD
I agree
This is just horrible. So much junk just thrown in our oceans now wildlife can’t even live there. Disgusting.
This is heartbreaking
The image looks like an artistic sculpture made of rubbish
I think there should be stricter laws and punishment for anyone caught dumping plastics in any of the water sources. When the whales and other animals die from this there wont be anything left
While this definitely appears photoshopped, the issue is real. Biodegradable only makes sense.
Plastic is made from petroleum. Save the petroleum for medical purposes.
Odd.
It saddens me to think that my grandchildren wont grow up knowing the magnificence of the oceans creatures .
So saf
What are we doing?
Awesome
I’m glad there are new machines being made to collect the trash in the ocean because this is sad. Ocean dies… We die.
It should have penalties for tossing plastic in the ocean.
This is horrible! People need to smarten up
Very useful to know and very interesting
Love these
True!
So true. We suck
So sad!
Wow
We are far behind in recycling. We need more green options!
-.-
Save the whales
We really do have to start to do a better job at this before it’s too late. We have started talk in our city in regards to phasing out plastic bag usage. We have just started carrying some cloth bags whenever we think we may need them. I truly think most people don’t mind doing simple tasks like this if it’s helping to save our oceans.
Sounds like fake news to me and no one referenced is qualified to determine the cause of death. I have been around whales a lot in the ocean and only seen them avoid things like plastic and wood. This is bullshit to get your heart to bleed.
This is so sad. I always bring my own bags when I go grocery shopping.
I’m disgusted and overcome with sorrow at the same time. I can only imagine how many preventable deaths have occurred due to our own carelessness/laziness. The majority of the people in this world right now don’t care about anything but themselves. That is going to kill us all… By destroying our only home.
THis is absolutely appalling. I am ashamed to be part of the human race with actions like this.
Good
Good
Poor things
I came from imvu anyone else?
Sad
Very sad. Hopefully the plastic will get cleaned up.
Omg
il faut faire quelque chose de plus concrets on détruit la terre et peux de gens sen soyci

Very sad. We need to go back to paper bags.
You’re right!
That’s horrible
It’s a sad situation.
I refuse plastic bags whenever possible.
Those pictures were so fake my kids laughed.. Tree huggers are so stupid
So sad and wrong
When are we going to respect sea life and stop polluting

This is unacceptable! I agree with Janeen Jonson. Humans are supposed to be more intelligent and responsible! I recycle as much as I can.
So sad
This is a serious issue

Get it together people.
It’s so sad how we human create this horrible things
So sad. I worry for our children’s children. Love the ocean why would anyone use this as waste products of anything that would harm any living life. Upset with this world because more should care
And this is true so for all of you that say, “Yah, sure, this is fake.” And roll there eyes, think again.
It’s so sad
Things gonna get worse before it gets better

It is truly shameful!
This is sad and disgusting people the ocean IS NOT your public GARBAGE CAN!! Stop it

Omg
How sad……plastic bags should be banned in ALL countries, not just Asia!
We’ve got to stop killing the innocence of the earths natural inhabitants!
Very true
It is so sad that mankind is so thoughtless that it just throws its trash willy nilly and place other species lives in danger. Everyone should be responsible and dispose of their trash properly. Also we should cut down on the amount of plastic used.
Ok true
Hmm
Diamonds
This is disturbing and heart breaking. Please recycle, use refillable water bottles and fabric grocery bags. Making small changes can make a big impact if EVERYONE did it. We are responsible for the death of these beautiful creatures and it has to stop.
We have been recycling for years.
Things should be more simple everyone learn to recycle
Thank you
Upsetting
Wow!! Clean up and prevention needed.
Everything has become disposible. We need to go back to the old days where things were made to last and stop being so wasteful and the lazy. We need to start Recycling everything
I am so willing to do everything I can do to help with this horrible plastic disaster.
Very sad.
That is so sad to see. This is wrong in every level. Poor baby. This can be prevented if people could just not litter
Wow
So sad
God created everything for a reason and we should be more mindful.

So sad!
Sad……
Canada needs to do more to ban plastic bags. How hard is that to adapt to for god sakes people! Just get rid of them. Costco did it!
Terrible
Eh
So sad!!
Humans are not as smart as we think
Huh
Ummmm really no one noticed this picture is not a real whale.. it’s a fake whale made of plastic displayed on the beach to promote saving the ocean life from our plastic waste.
Ummm did anyone see this whale is made of plastic to promote the importance for us to save ocean life of our waste. That is not a real whale
So sad, and I guess I was totally unaware of this. I will be using as little plastic as possible & making everyone around me aware of this problem.
We need to stop this
Nobody thinks of consequences anymore.
Recycle people
I think people should be more aware of the dangers of plastic
Tragic 🙁
True
Wow this is crazy we need to bring awareness
This is horrible hearing this, we gotta save the sea world
Sad

Really sad
Don’t b rude never throw things in the ocean animals can get hurt
omg that so cruel
love doing survey
Thats not cool
Damn
Oh man
Thanks for the best article
Yet as a worker where we are phasing out bahs these same people scream blo0dly murder that they dont get a free plastic bag but are given the choice of a free box or to pay 5 cents or bring thier own. 90% assume if the company wants ur business they need to.give u bags. This is the problem. As customers stop demanding plastic
True
It’s sad to see this happen .
Is there any reason to stop this dead pollution and plastic problems once and for all?
We think we’re imortal and that our earth will last forever – isn’t this proof enough that this is not the case?
that is very obviously a whale made out of garbage. not that we shouldn’t do everything we can to protect the environment
wake up
People need to stop doing this we need animals like homeless people noafese tho but the wild life is pretty and the homeless population is terrible they have destroyed the pretty nature
Hello I’m leeon
People need to stop littering ..
This article was very interesting
Bad
Life is suck
I don’t believe the pic is real! As soon as that whale opened his mouth , the ocean water would rush in and most that plastic would flow out of his mouth, pls have some common sense
I agree ,our throw -away society is a waste ,things should be made to last for numerous uses and when worn out be recycled! That includes not just plastics but all materials. Instead of running out to get the latest new thing use out the old. Companies obsolete decent usable game systems, computers and so on before most of the people I know can afford to buy them. People need to slow down and appreciate what they have instead of demanding more and more things to stave off boredom or try to one up everyone else!
Yes agreed
I agree
I agree with this. I mean how would you like it if someone came to your home and killed out with plastic? Honestly people need rock start realizing what this does.
