Another Good Reason To Stop Using Plastics

Plastic is believed to constitute 90% of all garbage floating in oceans.

A "plastic soup" of waste floating in the Pacific Ocean is growing at an alarming rate and now covers an area twice the size of the continental United States, scientists have said. The vast expanse of debris is held in place by swirling underwater currents. About one-fifth of the junk – which includes everything from footballs and kayaks to Lego blocks and carrier bags – is thrown off ships or oil platforms. The rest comes from land.
