How can we raise awareness about the Pacific Garbage Patch? It is polluting the ocean, and killing the fish as it grew larger every year. It is effecting many of our major industries and entire countries are being polluted by the tons of plastic floating in our ocean. Held in place by a rotating current called a gyre, The Pacific Garbage Patch just keeps getting bigger, taking water from our entire earth’s supply. Water that could be used to supply us with drinking water. Take care of the ocean. We only have one!
