Islands
of plastic garbage have been found in places from the Pacific Ocean to Atlantic
Ocean. Plastics are ubiquitous and can be found almost everywhere on earth. One
of the major contributors to this problem are single use plastics (plastic
straws, utensils, grocery bags and packaging). However, it is becoming very
clear that the problem is not just aesthetics of the islands of plastics found
in the oceans around the world.
