Creature Genocide

In 2019 and 2020, many wildernesses of the new world continents burned up because the global atmosphere is more dry, First it was Brasil, then Australia and finally large parts of North America, billions of creatures were killed by the fires. It is very hard to even imagine the scale of the destruction. 

Billions more creatures are being poisoned in the ocean by eating plastic. I was wondering if they measure broken fishing nets as part of the plastic waste. I think that fishermen would cut a broken net loose to float in the ocean, no? Am I wrong? Fishing nets are made of Nylon cord and polyester fibres I think. 

If I throw an empty bottle of water into the recycling bin or the trash then surely the plastic in the ocean is coming from somewhere else perhaps boats, bridges and the coastal areas. Broken nets, ropes, bottles left on a beach, crisp packets that were blown off a bridge, things like that. 

It can't be coming from me. 

I don't know.
