There is a plastic “island” in the Pacific Ocean that’s estimated to be 3x the size of France. Size estimates are iffy because it’s not really an island, more like a giant dispersed cluster comprised of bits and chunks, and can’t be seen on satellite https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch Here’s some of it

There is nothing Americans can do to slow this down. - Go to google maps, seriously, right now. Start a timer, and blindly pick any street view in india (ANYWHERE) you will find nothing but trash and trash and trash which filters through their streams and into our oceans. USA is the least of the problem. Its insanity how much trash is deposited into the ocean of asia /south east asia.
