Plastic Continent


I just learned about the Plastic Continent. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, it contains 3.5 million tons of trash, 80 percent of it plastic, and is more than 2 times the size of Texas. Instead of clear waters, there is nothing but a sea of plastic, bottles, fridges, furniture, cigarette lighters, lightbulbs, fishing nets and garbage. Unbelievable and unbearable.
