    I used to see whales or dolphins on the news that they would eat plastic bags, but I didn't know why they liked to eat plastic bags so much?

    Actually, that's the real reason. When the plastic sinks into the sea, because the surface of the plastic bag will contain microorganisms, green moss will grow on the surface of the plastic in the sea for a long time, and some marine animals will swallow it when they find this "seaweed", but often this "seaweed" is just the green moss adhered to the plastic surface.

    After the "seaweed" is swallowed into the stomach of marine animals, it can no longer be spit out, because plastic bags are non-degradable substances, so marine animals can not digest, and eventually lead to death, and some marine animals that breathe with lungs because they accidentally eat plastic, resulting in plastic blocking the lungs and respiratory tract, suffocating to death.

    Not only marine animals can do this, even if a human eats a plastic bag, it can cause diarrhea, indigestion, and even hospitalization for gastric lavage**. In short, for the sake of nature's ecological balance, do not throw our used plastic bags into rivers, lakes and seashores.

    I think it is the sorrow of society and the retreat of society that marine animals eat plastic and die.

    There are several reasons why marine organisms eat plastic and die, first of all, now people's life is too fast, which leads to less and less time for people to spend less and less time on eating, the development of takeaway, fast food industry has led to more disposable plastic waste, because the degradation of these plastics takes hundreds of years, and if it is not well treated, it will easily accumulate in the river, or reach a large ocean with the river, when these plastic garbage increases, marine life will eat plastic.

    Secondly, there are very few people in the ocean, and when some marine creatures eat plastic, it is difficult for anyone to find and dispose of it in time. Sometimes, even if they find a sea creature eating plastic or getting entangled in it, they won't help because of the size or aggression of the creature.

    We should always maintain harmony between man and nature, all the creatures in the ocean have their reason for existence, all have the balance of the biological chain, if the marine life becomes extinct in the future, it will only be us humans who will suffer, so we should protect our oceans and make less garbage and plastic.

    Marine animals will also be hungry, hungry to eat anything, especially those plastic products, most of them will have a special taste, these tastes may be the likes of marine creatures, so he eats, eats and can't digest, and accumulates too much in the stomach, which will affect his appetite, and some of them will produce toxins, which will lead to the death of marine creatures.

    Eating plastic, not being able to breathe, resulting in suffocation, don't ask me why I know, because I'm an environmentalist.

    With the continuous expansion of human civilization, the plastic waste in the ocean is also accumulating little by little, causing countless biological deaths every year. According to research by Laurence Morris, a member of the French Institute for Development Research, about 15 million marine life dies every year due to plastic waste, and it has been getting worse in recent years.

    Marine pollution can be extremely harmful to marine life. In the North Atlantic, 30% of fish consume a large amount of plastic waste during their life cycle. "Plastic waste can be fatal to a wide range of marine organisms, such as fish, cetaceans, turtles, etc., which are affected by marine pollution.

    The area polluted by particulates is increasing by an average of 80,000 square kilometers per year.

    When we think of marine pollution, we think of the ocean full of plastic bottles and cans, but this is only the "tip of the iceberg", there are still a lot of microplastics in the seawater, which are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Compared to larger volumes of plastic waste, micro-granular plastic debris is more harmful to marine life. These tiny plastic particles, no more than 5 millimetres in diameter, sometimes float to the surface of the sea, sink to the bottom of the sea, or are washed up on the shore.

    Due to their small size, this plastic waste is easily ingested by marine organisms and can accumulate at the end of animal tissues. In the North Pacific, South Pacific, North Atlantic, South Atlantic and central Indian Oceans, microplastics are most concentrated, mainly due to human activities and monsoon currents.

    The highest concentrations of microplastics in the world are mainly in the waters between California and Hawaii. At present, its polluted area has reached 10,000 square kilometers, equivalent to one-seventh of the land area of France. The area polluted by these microplastics is growing at a rate of 80,000 square kilometers per year.

    I hope that human beings can pay attention to marine pollution, otherwise the earth will really become the grave of all people one day.

    It's really hard to say, and it's probably only a few parts of it that we'll be able to find. Therefore, we must protect the environment and not create marine litter.

    In fact, the design drawings and effects of this three-story villa in front of me give people a more special feeling, I don't know if everyone agrees? Although its appearance is not very special, you can look at the exterior wall of the villa, which is mainly used in a variety of colors, of which white is a transitional color, but the use is just right, and it can be a natural transition and will not make people feel very strange.

It seems that the position of the courtyard of this gate runs through the first and second floors, so that the whole villa looks more high-end. Moreover, it adopts a combination of square and arc display techniques, which is very special compared to the general villa design, and the effect is also very good.

    In addition, the practicality of this villa is also good, and the location of the garage is designed, which is more in line with the practical needs, and it is also very good!

    A220 villa design drawings and renderings introduction:

    Floor area specifications: façade meters x depth meters.

    Ground floor area: square meters.

    Area of the second floor: square meters.

    The reason marine organisms are prevalent in swallowing plastic is that the oceans are filled with a lot of plastic matter, and for plankton, the marine environment where they live has a high concentration of microplastic particles because its feeding appendage is suitable for handling particulate matter of a certain size, and Moira Galbraith, plankton ecologist at the Canadian Institute of Marine Science, said that if the particles fit within the size range of the skin, they will be mistaken for poor food.

    Statistics show that at least 180 species of sea-skiing animals have swallowed plastic, from microscopic plankton to giant whales, plastic is found in the internal organs of one-third of fish caught in the UK, including the fish we eat regularly, mussels and lobsters, etc., in short, marine life of all shapes and sizes are eating plastic waste, about 12.7 million tons of plastic material enter the ocean every year, and a large amount of plastic waste is found in the world's oceans.
