Pacific Ocean to Plastic Ocean

Why can't people throw their trash in trash cans, not the ocean! It's sad how in some places in the ocean plastic outweighs plankton by a ratio of 6:1. At first I thought "out of sight, out of mind," I didn't think much about it because I didn't think its' impact was that great. Although after reading some articles I realized its big effect. It brings trash to our beaches, fish eat the plastic which can affect the food chain, and it's not going to stop there, the problems will just keep keeping. Even though they say the clean-up is impossible, this prompt made me never want to litter and maybe even pick up some of the plastic at beaches. Because 30 years from now I don't want to be swimming in an ocean filled with plastic, but in the clear and cool water of the Pacific Ocean. We might not be able to get rid of the garbage patch, but I think we can prevent it from growing faster and getting any bigger.
