http://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/19/from-the-washer-to-the-sea-plastic-pollution/?scp=3&sq=pollution&st=cse

Summary of Article: This article is about Plastic Pollution.Plastic Pollution is spread through the waste water from the washing machines not bcause of water building and garbage in the oceans.This article explains how the water in the oceans is really polluted and how it affects the enviornment and how it kills many animals in the sea. Through Scientist curiosity they really wanted to know what is the cause of poulltion in the bodies of wate.They started to observe, reasearch, and experiment untill they concluded that left over washing machine water is what is causing pollution.

Suggestion for Improvement/Solving: What we can do to solve this issue is to recycle the washing machine that is being wasted and put in the ocean.I also think that people should stop using alot of water and electricity because it takes alot of power and I think that when throwing the water into sea, and oceans they should filter the water so it wont affect the animals in the water and it wont affect the enviornment.
