f: Write your personal reflection on the issue in the article.
In my opinion, marine life including fish, sharks, turtles and birds are killed over one million each year due to plastic debris in the ocean. Currently it is estimated that there are 100 million tons of plastic in oceans around the world so plastic waste kills up to a marine life, it is very harmful because when seabirds ingest plastic, it takes up room in their stomachs, sometimes causing starvation. I am concluding here, that usage of plastic materials should be banned in our society therefore marine life may survive safely.
