In the middle of the pacific ocean there is a giant pool of garbage. I had heard of this patch a couple of years back but never realized that it is just sparse bits of plastic and netting rotating around. Scripps University if looking into this and seeing if there is an easy way to clean it up and research other ways to get rid of it.
I guess the garbage planet of Wall-e is not as far away as that movie made it look.
