Garbage is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean . In this ocean there's an area the northern Pacific Gyre . I this circular movement , the Currents collect garbage . And , 90 percent of this garbage is plastic . Eighty percent of it comes from land . The garbage come fro every country whose shoreline touches the Pacific . A sailor named Charles Moore discovered the patches in 1997 , when sailing near Hawaii. He calculated that there were more 3 million tons of plastic in the water . All of this garbage is hurting the environment . Fish and seabirds often think little pieces of plastic are a king of food . However , most plastic is not biodegradable . Scientists say that cleaning up the garbage patches is impossible . We have to control the amount and keep beaches.
Summarizing..
1- Zero Waste it is new idea for dealing with all the garbage in the world . Some cities like San Francisco already recycle 68percent of their trash . A company that's recycling food waste they put it all together and turn it into compost .
2- Before they started, Chris and her husband counted all the plastic items they used in a month. The total was 603, so for one month, they tried to live without plastic. They didn't succeed in not using any plastic, but they did bring the number of items down to 106.
Consider the ideas..
I think that recycling is a great thing. The problem is that we produce too much garbage in the first place. Some people will say that this is unfair because large families will pay more than people living a lot. Other things like water and electricity.
