Do you think that once you throw something in the trash it just goes away? Well thats not true. In 1997 a salior named Charles Moore took a short cut back to his home and noticed trash floating by, it never stopped. He was sailing in what is now known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.Where garbage gets trapped in the whirlpools from the currents. It is almost twice the size of the US. If it keeps growing like it is there will be practically no clean ocean left. What do you think we should do?

We should recycle more, and I think that we should burn it and use it for energy, just like coal. It would be cheap energy, and it wouldn't pollute our oceans.
That is horrible and thats why people shouldn't throw their junk into the rivers because they all lead to the ocean some how. I think they need to get people with huge nets to just drive by in boats and pick it up like all day for probably the rest of their lives cause it would take forever but it needs to be done i mean the ocean is like 3/4 of the world and if its not clean at all image what that would to the rest of the world.
That is a really good question. We make alot of garbabe that we don't know what to do with it. Something should be done before we all get covered in garbabe.

I'm an eco friendly person. I never throw stuff in the trash. Instead, I have others do it for me :)
