Alot of food I eat comes in packaging, it’s usually plastic, bags and cardboard. Types of packaging are different for other types of food so they d0nt spoil, jerky for example is sealed up very well so it doesn’t spoil. Packaging can be positive for keeping food good for a long time and it keeps away bad stuff from getting into it but packaging is very negative as people litter and it also highly effects our oceans drastically, at least 8 million tons of plastic ends up in our oceans every year and make up 80% of all marine debris from surface waters to deep-sea sediments, this is usually where our packaging ends up. The food waste is used after for farmlands and fertilizing stuff. We can decrease the amount we use by not buying as much packaging and food, we can also find a better solution than the trash going to the ocean and killing tons of sea life. There are people who help clean up the trash in the ocean but there is just more and more trash polluting our oceans.
