In the Pacific Ocean lies a big patch of trash that just sits around and harms the enviornment. It is called the great garbage patch and is a huge problem. The garbage patch is the size of Texas. That is huge. Seriously. There is so much trash in the ocean that it has been piled up by ocean currents. It is very sad that this is occurring today. It not only hurts the fish and animals but it hurts us too. When the fish eat the trash, we eat the fish and indirectly eat the trash. This happens to all the other fish in the ocean too. It is really sad because we rely on the ocean and the ocean relies on us to help keep it clean. This big garbage patch is ruining everything. It is so dense with trash that a human being can walk on it. This affects the enviornment greatly with destruction to the ocean and harming all creatures that result to the ocean for foods. That includes, fish, birds, sharks, dolphins, and just about every sea creature you can think off, besides those weird things in the deep sea. Scientists confirm that the garbage patch will double the size in the next few years and triple its size in the next twenty years. This is all because of the terrible habits of human beings. Thats right, it is our fault that this giant abbomination exists. We throw away tons and tons of trash each year which is sent to landfills. The trash in the landfills fly away due to heavy winds and land in the ocean. The ocean currents move the trash to the middle of the pacific ocean which collects and makes the great garbage patch.
