For and To - difference

Question

I feel confused when I have to choose between 'for' and 'to'. For example, if I want to write that ocean garbage is an serious problem, which way should I write,

"ocean garbage is an serious problem for us."

or

"ocean garbage is an serious problem to us"?

The word for is used to address the object, target or use of an action/activity.

On the other hand,the word 'to' is to show the direction towards some object.

As per my knowledge,

"Ocean garbage is a serious problem for us." should be considered.
