Literally nothing except scheduling software could drop cargo ship emmissions by around 20%!?

Plastic can release toxics into the stomach, according to a new study.
Material left to float in seawater may turn it cloudy potentially releasing toxic chemicals into the water, and could do the same in stomachs.
