With so many factories that make disposable toothbrushes, pens, cans, bottles and wrappings, garbage is a very big problem in our world today. You may think that garbage is everywhere. Well, you're right. It is everywhere! A good (and scary) example of this is the 'Great Pacific Garbage Patch'. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch was first discovered by scientists in the 1980s. It is an area of floating garbage in the Pacific Ocean that is about the same size as Texas. There are many kinds of garbage in the Garbage Patch, but plastic bottles and bags, and other things made of plastic cause the biggest problem. 'What's the problem?' you may ask. First, plastic bottles and bags may take hundreds or maybe even thousands of years to break down. Second, plastic is made from chemicals. As the plastics break down over time, chemicals enter the water - and enter the fish that live in the water. These chemicals can make the fish sick, and they can also make the people who eat the fish sick. So... what can we do? There are many things we can do! We can clean up our oceans, we can stop making so many things from plastic, and we can recycle8 more. The important thing is to do something! Garb Scientists Chemicals d the pass What is A. gab.
