The world's oceans are being polluted by plastic waste to a degree never before realized. n the middle of the Pacific Ocean, in an area known as the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, lies a floating garbage patch of plastic twice the size of Britain!!!

This critical situation has only been mentioned in passing by the news media..............You & I on Care2 know you can only ignore something like this for so long!

The BIG QUESTION is: Is there any planned actions being formed to do something to removed this awful PLATIC mess????????????????????

Could, say a million volunteers be gathered toether to dispose of this horried manmade mess??????

PLANT LIFE.......PLANT TREES........FOR THE ANIMALS....................

Same problem seams to be in the outer space, near our planet - the waste from the former flights is forming a garbage belt - we'll look like Saturn, but surrounded not by minerals but by garbage...
