Enslavement happens by corporations, by technological 'progress' which is another word of leaving as much waste as humanly possible. Industrial control, never.
Don't invent or use things you can't recycle.
And there lies the dominance of nature: return it to me so we can all profit and live well.
Governments can be turned, legislation bettered and justice practised, but what's extinct, poisoned, damaged, will not return.

Where is the logic in people's arguments that this is "scaremongering" to get tax money...the gov't does.not.have.money. in the environment!!! there's money in oil and energy companies, NOT in saving the planet from human destruction! People profit from selling energy to cities..there's no profit in cutting back on harmful habits and cleaning up after ourselves

right - we should, that's the aim of scaremongering :-)
Scared people will be easy to be ripped off (green taxes) and enslaved... It happens every time.

I aggre with you, But Unlike stuff like global warming I actually feel the effects of ocean pollution, It is Very very Very Real I go 30 meters down My Local Beach and I fill a Bag With trash!
Come on The Big Plastics Companies Have a Stake In Keeping This Down. The Govt Is on There Side Not The Oceans, I don't Think Eco Control Will Happen With This Issue Many Companies have a stake in Global warming It can make them Mega bucks and give them Mega control, With this Issue It is the opposite.

Fish is consumed as food all over the world; with other seafoods, it provides the world's prime source of high-quality protein: 1416% of the animal protein consumed world-wide; over one billion people rely on fish as their primary source of animal protein.

the only way to survive extreme Ice Age Or Extreme Global Warming Is Underground manmade or in Deep Natural Stable Caves.
And There Are Probably More Undiscovered Caves Than Documented Caves

Over fishing is human damage

I'm not going to argue with you over the validity of this report. As far as I'm concerned, even loose studies like this containe grains of truth.
