Worlds Biggest Landfill in the Pacific Ocean
I was looking at a article on BuzzFeed called the 9 Places You Never Want to Go On a Vaction and #2 is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It reminded me of it and I found this long article on how crazy this is: http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/earth/oceanography/great-pacific-garbage-patch.htm

Maybe Chelsea has a comment about bacteria that can consume plastic.

What about efforts to "vacuum" up the biggest pieces?
It's really sad that people don't recycle plastic and abandon it in the ocean. People need to find better solution to make better planet.
