It is an uninhabited rock in the South Atlantic ocean. Go there, though, and you will find its coast is covered with litter.That has been the experience
27、 of Peter Ryan of the University of Cape Town, in South Africa. Since 1984 Dr. Ryan has been visiting Inaccessible, recording the litter stranded (搁浅) on the islands beaches. This week, he has published the results.Though Inaccessible is indeed remote, the nature of oceanic circulation means that th
28、is is exactly the sort of place where floating rubbish tends to accumulate.Dr. Ryan and his colleagues focused on one particular class of litter: bottles. Their definition of a bottle included jars and containers, and things made of metal, glass or polymer. Most, though, were of polyethylene terepht

By 2018 the overwhelming(压倒性的) majority (74%) were Asian.This geographical shift speaks volumes. The first sample suggests mo
