In case you need further evidence that mankind is doing a remarkable job of destroying the planet, consider this: If we continue our ways, the world’s oceans will soon be home to more plastic than fish.
That’s according to a new report from the World Economic Forum and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
“The best research currently available estimates that there are over 150 million tonnes (165 million tons) of plastics in the ocean today,” the report reads. “In a business-as-usual scenario, the ocean is expected to contain 1 tonne (1.1 tons) of plastic for every 3 tonnes of fish by 2025, and by 2050, more plastics than fish (by weight).”
In other words, in just 34 years, plastic trash in the ocean will outweigh all the fish in the sea.
The study describes plastics as the “ubiquitous workhorse material of the modern economy“ and finds that after a short first-use cycle, 95 percent of plastic packaging material value, or $80 billion to $120 billion annually, is lost to the economy.
At least 8 million tonnes of plastics — equivalent to one garbage truck every minute — leak into the ocean each year, according to the World Economic Forum.

Where Are All My Holy Men That Lift Up Their Holy Hands To ME, YAHUVEH?
September 11, 2002
This earth is hell bent, even the earth quakes and shakes in fear, for the earth knows the judge of all creation is going to judge this earth and will quickly appear. Your waters are polluted because of man-made sin, you wipe out species of animals simply because you want to murder or you want to wipe out their habitat for your own foolish purposes. But I have preserved each species in Heaven, species this earth no longer sees and MY Children whose home will be in Heaven, be assured, these species are saved for thee.
PROPHECY 74
“I, YAHUVEH, HAVE DECLARED WAR ON PLANET EARTH FROM HEAVEN!”
June 25, 2004
Oh foolish men, oh foolish Women, you men, you women of earth, you who plot against ME, you who try and lead MY true Children to slaughter, as sheep to the slaughter. You, who write the laws and cast away the laws of old, you say they are outdated. You forget I am the Ancient of Days. What will you do, oh foolish men of this earth? You who have your high technology, weapons of mass destruction, plagues and diseases you have invented with the hand of satan. You who are so rich and pompous, you who have built the underground cities. You who go and conquer planets I have not told you to conquer. Is it not enough that you have already destroyed one? Must you also conquer others? Do you not have enough war on this earth? Must you go searching for more trouble?
