An article "Scripps Study Shows Plastic in Pacific Garbage Patch Has Increased 100-Fold" by Leon Kaye talks about a study that was released by some researchers at "San Diego's Scripps Institution Oceanography", that claims that plastic has increased by 100 timesthe anount it was 40 years ago. the article talks about all the problems that are accuring because of this. It goes from small insects laying eggs on pieces of trash, that are the size of Texas, and also how "SEAPLEX and Scripps completed another research project showing that nine percent of 141 varieties of fish that live within the Pacific Garbage Patch had plastic in their stomachs." Which is bad thise fishes end up being eaten by us and the trash that was ate by them is now in our system which could cause harm to our bodies.
