Plight of the albatrosses: Choking on plastic waste

Summary:
The article of this week it's about birds that choke with plastic waste. What happens is that birds are eating plastic because they can't find food in their environment. Then, they eat plastic, because the plastic has remains of food inside. Also those birds give the plastic to their fledglings to eat.Then the birds who eat the plastic choke or cut themselves to death.Photographers have taken pictures of dead bodies of birds with plastic remains inside them. This article is very sad.
We chose this article because it is interesting how world is becoming. We feel very sad for all this birds that are being killed. It affect us in the way that if there are no birds they will not eat bugs and we will have an insect attack. Also we are destroying our environment and without birds the alimentary chain will affect a lot. We hope this ends.
Bias: The bias we found are that we think strongly that we should care for our environment. We think it is sad to see all this birds dying around us. We need to take more responsibility with our surroundings.
