Thousands of pounds of plastic, paper, and other recyclables are thrown into the ocean daily. This Texas-sized monstrosity of trash is known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. On average, a single American uses up to 5 pounds of trash every year! If every person would take the time to recycle their waste, the Pacific Garbage Patch can be eliminated in a matter of years. Do your part to help our Blue Planet.
Read MoreAs part of the next generation, this world is our future. Kids and adults alike need to work together in order to
restore this planet to a cleaner state. The amount of trash in our oceans is not acceptable. It is not that people
don't want to recycle, they just don't know why they should. This is why we want to spread awareness about this problem
and a possible catastrophy in our hands in the future.
Let's see what people have to say about recycling.
It doesn't matter how little you do, as long as you try to make an effort, the Garbage Patch can be cleared. Drops make an ocean and in this case, every can you recycle, every piece of paper you don't throw in the trash, helps towards reducing the huge trash pile. All we need to do is take the time to recycle.
