Ocean Garbage Patch

This article was written by Beth Buczynski. It explains about the never ending consumption the goes into our ocean.  Buczynski explain that the Australian Research Council Centre discover that no matter how much we manage to put effort to clean the ocean, this will be nearly impossible to clean completely. I was surprise when she mention about the trash can live pass from their owners. Buczynski talks about the 5 gyres which are major ocean basins that collects waste from different countries. It's funny how these gyres exchange trash by using their currents to transport them. Although Buczynski include that scientist had also discover the sixth gyres that is barely forming. The scientist announced that the sixth gyres will be completely form in 50 years. In the article, Dr. Van Sebille believes that not a single country is responsible since all the trash ends in garbage patch. In the other hand, I believe every country should be responsible since we all drink the same water. They all should react together to solve this problem so we can prevent the sixth gyres and also to clean our ocean. No matter how impossible this can be, the only way we know if we all try.
