The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
There is an island in the Pacific Ocean, now reported to be TWICE the size of Texas, made entirely of floating trash. I’d heard about it, but this is the first time I’ve seen pictures. Fabien Cousteau (grandson of undersea explorer Jacques Cousteau) talked about the importance of keeping our oceans clean on Oprah last week. This isn’t just about the whales, people; this is about human health.
