reduce, reuse, and recycle
When we were given the assignment to read about "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch," I had no idea what it was going to be about. Now knowing that there's a landfill of garbage exists in the Pacific Ocean makes me feel upset. Especially because it is approximately twice the size of Texas. We as a community should do something about it since it is floating in our ocean waters. If we just let it be, it could end up on our beach shores. The pile is ruining our marine life. If you had garbage dumped in your home, wouldn't you get mad. Same as the animals in the ocean, we shouldn't dump garbage in their homes. I think it is time we do something about this and actually reduce, reuse, and recycle.

I agree with your views on this issue. I to believe in making a change. I also never knew what was going on before this assignment.
Absolutely. I think our community should take action and do what we can to reduce garbage wastes into our ocean.
I too was stunned to read the articles about the patch. And I couldn't understand how I had missed this information before. And I was a news hound! I'm ashamed that I didn't know and the info has been out for some years now. Yesterday I bought laundry detergent in a cardboard box instead of the plastic bottles. I can't see the world the same as before.
