Ocean of Plastic



Facts:
  • some areas of the ocean contain 30 times more plastic than plankton.
  • 1,000,000 plastic shopping bags are used each minute globally.
  • residual plastics are now being found in humans because we consume contaminated fish.
  • The Great Pacific Garbage Patch floats between The USA and Japan and is 2 times the size of Texas. Some portions of the patch are 90 feet thick.
