Answer 1

false

When I go fishing I try to pick up any garbage in the area I fish.

Funny story.One time I was carp fishing and just letting my hook sit there with a tight line.Well I thought I had a bite cuz something started pulling.So I set the hook and this thing is really giving me a hard reel in.To my dismay I caught a bottle of Powerade full of HORRIBLE smelling water.It drifted onto my hook.Here I thought I was reeling in a nice 5 pounder or something lol.Of course my friends had a good laugh at me.

Answer 2

false

Answer 4

Answer 5

FALSE!

Anything people leave behind in the ecosystem that was not there "originally" will upset the balance of that ecosystem which  is not good in any shape or form.

Just type in Ocean Trash in a web search or pacific ocean trash, and start reading what our throw away economy is doing.

Answer 6
