Quote:

Millions of tons of plastic have entered the oceans.
Plastic concentrates in five rotating currents, called gyres
In these gyres there is on average six times more plastic than zooplankton by dry weight

The Ocean Cleanup works to develop world’s first feasible method to clean the gyres of plastic, using the currents to our advantage

Loads of plastic gets washed up and blown up onto the beach here. It gets removed several times a year by groups of people doing community service. Still more comes though. From all over the world as well.

I think I might sign up for that, I always end up picking plastic off the beach anyway
