The GPGP
The GPGP stands for Great Pacific Garbage Patch. On Earth, there are 5 garbage patches. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the biggest one.
|
There a lot of garbages in the ocean. The garbage that are in the ocean weighs about 1000 times more than the Eiffel tower. Most of the trash are plastic.
|
Problems
The first problem is that the trash that is in the ocean comes to beaches with the waves. They destroy beautiful beaches.
|
Another problem is that the sea animals get stuck in the trash. They die of hunger, or drown.
|
The final problem is that the animals think that the trash is food and they eat it. After, they get sick or die.

Boyan Slat A person called Boyan Slat had an brilliant idea of cleaning up the ocean. I think his idea will work. It might take a lot of money but it will help our environment. |
