Plastic, understand it before disposing of it
In 1997, there was a yacht race across Pacific Ocean Los Angeles to Hawaii. Captain Charles Moore, a participant in the race, found an island near Honolulu. When he got close, he was surprised. The reason for his surprise was the fact that the island was not made of earth or rock, but of garbage. The garbage island was very large and consisted of various household goods mixed together. The island was about the size of Texas at the time of its discovery, but in 2009 was nearly double in size at about 220,000 km2, about 7 times larger than the size of the Korean peninsula.
"A hero... Mr. Moore is the first person to have pursued serious scientific research by sampling the garbage patch." -The New York Times
