We find plastic debris -- and an abundance of it -- on many shorelines in places like India, Africa, even on the shoreline of Iceland, Corcoran said. Plastic is everywhere, and inevitably, it will become melded with beach sediment. So, what can we do to permanently reverse the damage weve done with plastic pollution? Corcoran said every country on the planet would have to suddenly agree to never use plastics again, which, she notes, is extremely unlikely. But we can all pitch in and help through beach cleanups and not using as many plastic products, she insisted. Maybe by raising awareness [of how serious the problem is], people will start to say, OK, thats kind of disgusting so maybe ... I should think twice before I buy a bunch of balloons or use a straw. Even small things make a difference.
