Should we recycle or not ?

The video that we watched, really made me feel sad. I mean, all the animals that suffer from the waste in the sea/ocean, and the toxic bacteria that contaminates nature. You see that the plastic that can't be recycle leaves the the sea or ocean. I'm not saying that you shouldn't recycle, but recycle something you know can be recycled. Even if you recycle something and it ends up in the ocean, you should still recycle. There is more chances that your recycled items will be recycled than being thrown out. Its better to at least try to recycle before you say things about it, like how does it help our enviornment. I don't recycle but that doesnt mean you shouldn't. I would recycle too, if my parents would care enough to do that. I am an animal lover so I will do my best to protect the animals that is suffering from plastic that they just keep eating. >.>
I care for the enviornment but we are almost at the moment that we really cant do anything.
The sea of plastic, the oil spill. pollution. There is no end to all of this ! We can't stop the plastic because EVERYTHING THAT WE USE IS PLASTIC, the oil spill can be clean but you'll never know when another one will spill again, and then the pollution. The pollution, I just dont know about the pollution. Its everywhere.
