WaPo so can’t link
Seabirds have been fishing plastic from the ocean and feeding it to their chicks, researchers say. One bird was found to have ingested nearly 800 pieces.
On a remote Australian island renowned for its natural beauty, researchers have made a grisly discovery: Seabirds have ingested so much plastic they crunch when touched. The “harrowing” finding of plastic in the stomach of birds including chicks less than 3 months old is a stark warning for the health of other species in the marine environment, said ecologist Alex Bond, principal curator at Britain’s Natural History Museum.

Americans don't care about things like this OP. America just pulled out of the Climate Accord and vowed to double down on and increase fossil fuel use. And it's not just the governments - it's also the actual American people consuming, allowing this and not caring because it doesn't affect them. Fact.
