The first man-made plastic was in 1862 by Alexander Parkes at The Great International Exhibition in London. Plastic production had been developing and its demand increases throughout the years. It is energy-saving, consumer protection, healthcare, innovation. Unfortunately, it has its worst threats towards humanity. Plastic pollution has threatened the ocean or life below water. Last 50 years, 34 000 tons until 640 000 tons of plastic being discarded by the commercial fishing industry.

Plastic threatens the survival of many species of wildlife. It also serves as a conduit for the release and travel of toxins. Wildlife in oceans has considered plastic as their main food. Furthermore, the cost of cleaning the coastal beaches and rivers are high. For example, Texas and San Francisco spend 14 and 6 million dollars respectively annually. Shocking news, microplastic killed 1 million fish every year.

The facts that people rarely read about it. It is up to us to stop using any plastic products and used recycled beg. It might be a small action but it can make a difference. The first step always the hardest but the progress slowly achieves the goal. Stop the production of plastic because life below water also matters. Therefore the main reason for this petition is to stop plastic production and save life below waters.
