We all complain and criticize each other but each and every one of us are responsible for gpgp

UnopposedYogi27101, try to have one day where you touch zero plastic- the grocery store things that are shipped... it’s bigger than we are. How do we stop something on a global level???

BlueQ, we try .. we ask manufacturing and retailers . politicians why can't or won't they invest in /change to less damaging/non damaging materials. we make choices to avoid their damaging products as much as possible. we tell them and world why. we raise away we shame we do what best alternative we can we keep exploring ways of living sustainably in our planet

The explanation written by the author could have been more clearer: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) is located in the central North Pacific Ocean, roughly between Hawaii and California. It spans a large area, with estimates ranging from 1.6 million square kilometers (about 620,000 square miles) to over 3 million square kilometers (about 1.2 million square miles), making it one of the largest collections of ocean plastic in the world. The GPGP consists of two main areas: the Western Garbage Patch, located closer to Japan, and the Eastern Garbage Patch, located closer to the U.S. West Coast. These patches are not solid masses of trash but rather areas with a high concentration of microplastics and larger debris, which are trapped by ocean currents known as the North Pacific Gyre.
