A few years back I read an article in National Geographic about the "island of debris" that has formed in the Pacific Ocean over the years. It was a truly disturbing piece and really shed some light on human's level of reliance on plastics. Today I was shocked to learn that this "island" is very quickly becoming a continent and is now TWICE the size of TEXAS. Think about that for a moment. A collection of non-biodegradable garbage twice the size of Texas. No country wants to take responsibility for this environmental catastrophe and certainly no nation wants to shoulder the burden of cleaning this mess up, if that's even possible. Take a look at the short article attached and then do your own research on this. It's amazing, but a real eye-opener as to the impact we have on our environment.
