Did you know there’s a garbage “island” floating in the ocean? The patch, also known as the Pacific Gyre, is at least the size of Texas, and made up of debris including plastic bottles, toothbrushes, packaging scraps, and more.
Do your part and spread the word about The Great Garbage Patch and recycling plastic items whenever possible!
