There is an estimated 1,800,000,000,000 pieces of plastic in the patch. In words, this is 1.8 trillion pieces, or almost 250 pieces per human being on the planet!
My God how careless and selfish are we, we humans only care about ourselves not about the Mother Earth, who sustains us by the will of God. Who dumps this much of plastic at a single place, where are the fuckin recycling plants? , don't they work anymore? , are they even practical? or they are just mentioned on our text books which we read when we are at primary schools. If action isn't took immediately our future generations will suffer a lot.
