Trash. Millions of pounds of it, most of it plastic, floats in the middle of the ocean. The United Nations Environment Program estimated in 2006 that every square mile of ocean hosts 46,000 pieces of floating plastic and in some areas the amount of plastic outweighs the amount of plankton by a ratio of six to one.
How much more do we have to screw up our planet before we start to fix it? The "plastic soup" is divided into two parts, between California and Hawaii, which is twice the size of Texas, and between Hawaii and Japan, which is twice the size of America.
