Do you know how much plastic there is in our planet's oceans? No you don't, nobody does. But I know it's a lot. Some people even live in places totally covered by lastic bottles and other waste. But even such places are a drop in the sea compared to the The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Google it. The patch c overs an area twice the size of the continental U.S. Believed to hold almost 100m tons of flotsam, this vast "plastic soup" stretches 500 nautical miles off the Californian coast, past Hawaii and almost as far as Japan. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/02/great_pacific_garbage_patch.phpPeople
