Is Floating Garbage Dump new Pacific Ocean Landmark?
I often get annoyed when I trip over pieces of Lego left behind by my 9 year old but I would rather have them here in the house than dumped in the sea. Not just Legos but also kayaks(?), footballs and assorted plastic products have formed a ‘plastic soup of waste’ floating “from about 500 nautical miles off the Californian coast, across the northern Pacific, past Hawaii and almost as far as Japan” report Kathy Marks and Daniel Howden in ‘The world’s rubbish dump: a garbage tip that stretches from Hawaii to Japan’ (The Independent).
