"I struggle to comprehend how we can live in a society where convenience comes at the cost of murder. We create the plastic, we use it, we discard it - but we don't pay the price. The ocean and its inhabitants do. And not just the ocean - every ecosystem, every animal, every single living thing. Except us."
