Plastic waste harmful to ocean life, says water foundation head

Marco Simeoni, head of the Swiss-based Race for Water Foundation, shows a torn plastic bottle piece at a press meeting in Yokohama, southwest of Tokyo, on July 28, 2015. He said most of the drifting ocean waste collected by its yacht was plastics, and birds and fish often fatally mistake them for food as they do not dissolve in water. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
