We're on the same page here, we shouldn't be putting waste plastic into the ocean at all. Regardless of whether it takes 1000 years or 50 years to break down into something safe, during all those years animals will suffer and die and that's unacceptable.

All animals are precious, even humans. I don't think it's a binary choice -- we don't have to kill 10% of the human population to save the turtles or any other animals.

Besides throwing my respirator into the ocean and then dying from COVID-19, what other steps can I take to reduce my plastic footprint?

(Note: As long as my respirtor is on my face, that plastic isn't killing anything except a few viruses.)

Also, here's a link to a great article about how plastics biodegrade and how labs can test that:
