Trash island

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, also described as the Pacific Trash Vortex, is a gyre of marine debris in the central North Pacific Ocean located roughly between 135°W to 155°W and 35°N and 42°N. The patch extends over an indeterminate area, with estimates ranging very widely depending on the degree of plastic concentration used to define the affected area. Humans need to take better care of their trash and not just throw it oh of their cars because small marine animals die from eating the trash, birds are most common for these related deaths.
It's kinda of amazing but completely disgusting!!
