We’ve all heard the rumors of the Texas sized (or twice the size of Texas, depending on who’s reportage you’re listening to) pile of trash floating in the Pacific. The scuttlebutt is that it is hanging out somewhere between San Francisco and Hawaii; How come there are no pictures of it? I would think it would be visible from some satellite.It is rumored to be between three feet and three or four hundred feet thick in different areas. The local news featured a story of the timelessness of petrochemical plastics and what happens when the plastic trash we leave behind that finds its way into ocean. Into the enormous eddies and currents, swirling into an island of plastic crap the size of Texas. It hasnt really been seen, and ppl doubt weather its even true or not. I definetly think there could be some truth to this. Its kind of a crazy story and maybe thats why some dont want to believe it. Either way its time to make a concious effort to take care of our planet!
