The trash vortex is an area the size of Texas in the North Pacific in which an estimated six kilos (13.2 lbs) of plastic for every kilo (2.2 lbs) of natural plankton, along with other slow degrading garbage, swirls slowly around like a clock, choked with dead fish, marine mammals, and birds who get snared. Some plastics in the gyre will not break down in the lifetimes of the grandchildren of the people who threw them away.

What do you think this means for our future?
