The Ocean Has Polished Our Broken Glass And Turned Into Treasure

Almost all of the glass that humans have used and thrown away has ended up in the ocean (if it wasn't recycled). Even though this sounds bad for polluting the ocean, it's much less worrisome than other polluters such as plastic. Glass is made out of natural material, sand, and it turned back into the sand after it erodes into tiny pieces. However, before the glass breaks down into the tiny sand, it is plunged over in the ocean into small stones called sea glass. There are entire beaches filled with sea glass located in Scotland, the Isle of Man, Mexico, northern England, Hawaii, Italy, Australia, Nova Scotia, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, the United States, and southern Spain.
