Hello,
Each year, more than 300 million tons of plastic are not recycled. The consequences on the nature are very serious, especially on the oceans which contain according to the American magazine Science more than 110 million tons of plastic waste.
Whole islands are covered by waste, such as Henderson Island, where 17 million tonnes of waste accumulated as the island is located close to a giant whirlpool, the South Pacific
Beyond the aesthetic inconvenience, this waste threatens half of the seabirds and at least 200 species of fish, crustaceans and mammals living in the oceans because they confuse this waste with food.
The time is far away when explorers discovered deserted islands with sandy beaches. Adventurers today, if they discover an island, are likely to be made of plastic waste.
waste: means "rubbish". It is a residue that can not be reused.
to find oneself: "to find oneself" in this text is used in the sense of "to be in a situation as a consequence of something" As a consequence of this plastic pollution, islands are found covered with waste.
an inconvenience: It is something that is not pleasant.
threaten: "Threaten" in this text is used in the sense of "endangering".
