Trash Patch
Such a great example of how we -- all of humanity -- are not coming even remotely close to being good stewards of our planet:
GREAT PACIFIC GARBAGE PATCH: THERE IS AN ISLAND OF TRASH TWICE THE SIZE OF TEXAS FLOATING IN THE OCEAN
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a huge hoard of persistent ocean plastic, chemical sludge and other debris. Buoyant, hard-to-decompose trash becomes trapped over decades in the currents of a massive ocean vortex—in this case, the Northern Pacific Gyre. This patch floats in subtropical waters between California and Hawaii.
They (a group called THE OCEAN CLEANUP) found that plastics made up 99.9 percent of the debris: 46 percent was made up of fishing nets and more than 75 percent of the plastic pieces measured more than 5cm.
Yeesh!
