Hello, gorgeous public! I was shocked to read this. There are two masses of garbage waste floating in the Pacific Ocean that are almost twice the size of the United States...that is INSANE! Charles Moore, an American oceanographer who discovered the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" says that about 100 million tons of "flotsam" are circulating in the region. Marcus Eriksen, a research director of the US-based Algalita Marine Research Foundation, said yesterday: "The original idea that people had was that it was an island of plastic garbage that you could almost walk on. It is not quite like that. It is almost like a plastic soup. It is endless for an area that is maybe twice the size as continental United States." This...is so gross. How did this even happen?! Mr. Moore, who used to be in oil, sold his family fortune and decided to be an environmentalist. He recently warned bug businesses that if they didn't change their ways, the garbage mass could DOUBLE in size over the next decade! NUTS! Why can't we launch this stuff into space?!
