It is amazing how many people never heard of the Great Pacific Garbage patch - at least most of my friends haven’t. Twice the size of Texas, this massive vortex of trash (mostly plastic) is floating around, poisoning the marine life and eventually - our dinner plates. The main problem with plastic is that it doesn’t really biodegrade into the earth matter, water and carbon dioxide. Under the influence of the sun plastic degrades into smaller pieces - consumed by the sea organisms and entering the food chain.
