Scripps Study Shows Plastic in Pacific Garbage Patch has Increased 100-Fold

Wow is what I can say in the first sentence. 100 times the amount that was found 40 years ago! It just amazes me how the garbage patch in the ocean is as big as Texas and growing. It disgusts me that insect eggs are in our food chain which is being consumed into our body. Knowing that the garbage keeps accumulating in the ocean I feel like its hopeless for us to clean it up because there is too much! It seems impossible to have the ocean free of plastic debris. Lets just make that pile of garbage into another island. Or more ocean clean up. But how can we inform the businesses to recycle. That is are job to figure our how to tell them. Seeing that picture of that handful of plastic in a hand was probably picked up as they were walking down the beach for maybe 10 minutes or less. Imagine if they were to walk down the beach for an hour? probably have trash bags full of plastic.
