There is a giant patch of garbage floating in the Pacific Ocean. The giant patch of garbage needs to be removed, because of economic reasons and environmental reasons. The United Nations has been very inept and stood aside watching problems, instead of solving problems over the years. We should make the United Nations remove the giant garbage patch from the Pacific Ocean. The United Nations should go into international waters and remove trash from the giant Pacific garbage patch. (If the United Nations can't remove trash, then it is beyond worthless.)

The scale of this movement has reached a level that forces a formal response from relevant UN committees. My focus now shifts to finalizing the briefing documents for our upcoming meeting with international policy advisors.

Our océans and all of the living creatures therein are very beautiful and important créations of GOD. If our océans are destroyed or over-polluted all of humanity and the other living beings on this Planet will almost certainly face horrific conséquences. As such, we must strive to help clean up and protect the océans of the world before it is too late.

My kids deserve to see actual fish and not just plastic floating around when they go to the beach. UN needs to wake up and do something real for once.

How can we let this happen to our beautiful oceans? It is just so sad to think of all the sea animals dying because of our own garbage. Needs to be fixed now.
