Green Organic Devotion. Plastic in our oceans.
Plastic swirls, double the size of Texas, in our oceans. My husband and I do not have TV at our house, (we just watch Netflix!) So I am going to attribute that to the reason why I had no idea this was such a huge issue. However, I think what has me the most unsettled is that we are not doing anything dramatic to fix this devastating problem. We dump 8 million tons of plastic into the ocean each year. Where does it all go? What happens to all our plastic bottles and lids and containers after we toss them out?
Every single ocean now has a massive swirling plastic garbage patch The vast majority of plastic trash ends up in landfills, just sitting there and taking thousands of years to degrade. A smaller fraction gets recycled (about 9 percent in the United States).
