World dumps 8.8 million tons of plastics into oceans: Study sAn Jose: Each year about 8.8 million tons of plastic ends up in the world oceans, a quantity much higher than pre - vious estimates, according to a new study that tracked marine debris from its source. That's the equivalent of five grocery bags full of plastic debris dotting each foot of coastline around the world, said study lead author Jenna Jambeck, an environ - ment engineering professor at the University of Georgia. And if the biggest polluters, mostly developing Asian countries, don't clean up how they throw stuff away, Jambeck projects that by 2025 the total accumulated plastic trash in the oceans will reach around 170 million tons. That's based on population trends and continued waste management disposal problems, although there may be some early signs of change, she said. More than half of the plastic waste that flows into the oceans comes from just five countries: China, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. The only industrialized western coun - try on the list of top 20 plastic polluters is the United States at No. 20. The US and Europe are not mismanaging their collect - ed waste, so the plastic trash coming from those countries is due to litter, researchers said. While China is responsible for 2.4 million tons of plastic that makes its way into the ocean, nearly 28 percent of the world total, the United States con - tributes just 77,000 tons, which is less than 1 percent, accord - ing to the study published Thursday in the journal Science. 7 JAMMU | SATURDAY | FEBRUARY 14 | 2015 Golden YuG Won't have sledging war with National Games: It’s Saurabh vs. Akshit NZ captain McCullum matures KOChi: saurabh Verma (MP) will meet Akshit Mahajan (haryana) in the men’s singles bad - Warner, says Anderson minton final of the 35th National Games here. in time for World Cup mission saurabh sharma beat teammate Abhimanyu opportunity to lead the MELBOurNE: the singh 21-18, 21-14, while Akshit Mahajan over - team out, so it’s been an firebrand Aussie south - came sameer Verma 21-17, 21-18 in the semifi - interesting ride — i paw doesn’t need to be nals. the results: Men: semifinals: saurabh hope i’m a better crick - riled up, only contained, Verma (MP) bt Abhimanyu singh (MP) 21-18, 21- eter and a better person says the England pace 14; Akshit Mahajan (har) bt sameer Verma (MP) now.” spearhead 21-17, 21-18.
