The vortex seeing from above
In the Pacific Ocean there is a huge floating littler of plastic, that is already considered as the world’s larger concentration of garbage, with 1000 kilometers length, that goes from California coast and almost reaches the Japanese coast, and 10 meters depth. Scientists believe that this garbage vortex contains around 100 million tons of plastic from every kind: nets, bottles, balls, dolls, rubber toys, shoes, lighters, bags, kayaks or any kind of object that can be made out of plastic. People who discovered this enormous “plastic soup” is about twice bigger than the USA.
