Answered by GPT 3.5
Plastic ends up in our oceans through a variety of means including littering, improper disposal of plastics, and runoff from landfills and sewage systems. Plastic waste is often carried by wind and rain into storm drains, rivers, and eventually into the ocean where it can harm marine life and ecosystems. Additionally, plastic waste can be dumped directly into the ocean by ships or offshore platforms.
