the north pacific trash gyre

                                           THE
                                  NORTH PACIFIC
TRASH GYRE
THE NORTH PACIFIC TRASH GYRE IS A BIG ISLAND stretched
roughly between 135° to 155°W and 35° to 42°N the north pacific trash gyre is waste and pollutants from japan and north america . what happens when the trash is dumped in the ocean is that it is stuck in the currents and is trailed in the center. trash has been floating ashore coasts of hawaii japan and california only little showed up in mexico .the animals that have been hurt the most by the gyre are the sea turtles and the black-footed albatross the albatross has been eating the floating bottle caps and feeding them to the chicks because the birds arent digesting them properly their body isnt getting the right nutrients so its dying off on the sea turtles case they are too eating them but when th sea turtles are young the caps rings are being stuck around them thats what happened to the turtle on the top .
the gyre is a big problem and as not only america but the world should do is work on getting the gyre brought up and out of the water  to replinish and clean our oceans and also save our wildlife.
my solution is to launch all of our trash not in the atmosphere but to a real distant planet

thank you for reading and have a great day and when you get the chance do the right thing and adopt a pet or most of all RECYCLE
