Answer:

Rich countries can be described as having consumerist society in which the increasing acquisition of goods and services is encouraged. Thus, from a society such as this, the waste produced is also extremely large. So large that in many cases the system that should handle it is not capable of doing so.

Furthermore, the people themselves do not dispose of this waste in a responsible manner. Instead, parts of it are just through into nature where it eventually ends up in aquatic and especially marine environments.

By reducing the amount of used goods or at least the amount of packaging, will be a first step in reducing this environmental danger. However, more is necessary.

The consumerist mindset is not sustainable. Instead of throwing away a product such as a plastic cup, it could be reused several times. This would also lead to a waste reduction.

Perhaps the best solution is to recycle if not all, then most of the waste produced. By recycling, the waste itself will be eliminated to a large degree. Also, the amount used will not be such a big problem anymore as the used products are recycled into new ones.

Recycling will benefit greatly the marine environments by ceasing further pollution. The waste already present could be gathered and turned once more into a useful product.

Unfortunately, this solution is also the most expensive as extensive financial resources are necessary for the creation of the infrastructure of a recycling waste management system. However, long-term this investment will show itself to be profitable as, after all, our health is dependent on Earth's health.

Explain how a policy strategy to reduce, reuse, and recycle might mitigate the impacts of marine debris.

A strategy to reduce, reuse, and recycle would generally reduce the amount of garbage produced by society with the additional effect of reducing the amount of garbage that becomes marine debris.

Bisphenol a (often called bpa) is a chemical found in products that people use every day, from water bottles to food containers to children's toys. unfortunately, bpa leaches out of its many products and makes its way into our bodies. what are the health effects of bpa exposure? ongoing research is finding that elevated exposure to bpa can affect a wide variety of developmental and physiological processes, but one of the first studies of bpa's health effects came about because of a simple mistake in the lab. at a laboratory at case western reserve university in 1998, geneticist patricia hunt was making a routine check of her female lab mice. as she extracted and examined developing eggs from the ovaries, she began to wonder what had gone wrong. she noticed that many of the eggs showed problems with their chromosomes, and some had irregular amounts of genetic material, which can lead to miscarriages and birth defects in mammals. she learned that a lab assistant had mistakenly washed the plastic mouse cages and water bottles with a harsh soap, releasing bpa from the plastic. knowing that bpa is an endocrine disruptor, a chemical that can enter organisms and mimic hormones, hunt set out to discover whether it had adversely affected her mice.
