Plastic in the Pacific Our Ocean

In this article written By Leon Kaye, plastic has cover over the Pacific Ocean known as the Great Pacific Garbage. The certain group of scientist called Scripps Institution of Oceanography study that the Great Ocean Garbage has increase over 100 times as much it was 40 years ago. This shows that we had consume a great amount of products throughout the years. These little tiny bits of plastic had covered thousands of square miles of ocean's surface. The plastic are broken down the size of a human's finger nail. Which can also explain how 9% of 141 varieties fishes contain plastic in their stomach. Kaye also discusses how these insects know as sea skater, lay their eggs on our trash that can actually form into a impact in our ecosystem throughout the region. I agree with Kaye point as he mentions about consumers, cities, and business that need to prevent producing an amount of trash because soon it's going to effect us right back.
