The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

A little-known island continent of floating toxic plastic garbage, TWICE the size of Texas, is growing in the pacific between California and Hawaii. Officially known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is still completely ignored by U.S. officials. In the past 50 years it has grown 1000 times, and continues to grow until we stop using plastics. The enormous stew of trash - which consists of 80 percent plastics and weighs some 3.5 million tons, say oceanographers - floats where few people ever travel, in a no-man's land between San Francisco and Hawaii.

In the Great Pacific Garbage Patch it is said that there is a ratio of 6 to 1 plastics over plankton.

Plankton is the number one food source for fish and they mistaken the tiny plastic pellets that have broken down due to the Sun and eat them. Eventually, we fish these plastic eating fish and the plastics return right back into our diet!
