What's Forever For?

Depressing quote of the day from Susan Freinkel's Plastic: A Toxic Love Story:
"unless it's been beached or removed, every piece of plastic that has entered the ocean in the past century remains there in some form or another."
Except that actually that's wrong. What it should say is "unless it's been beached, removed, or ingested..."
Though I suppose removed is technically the same as ingested.
Now I think I've even more depressed. And not even this sappy 80s tune can cheer me up.
