The 'Plastic Island' is a large heap of junk and plastic in the North Pacific ocean and it's surface size is estimated to be between 700,000 and 15,000,000+ square kilometres. This is 0.41% to 8.1% of the Pacific ocean. The 'Plastic Island' is estimated to weigh 100 million tons. On average, there is 334,721 pieces per cubic kilometre in the 'Plastic Island.' This is killing wildlife rapidly, especially endangered species. We have to act now.
The corporations responsible for this ocean graveyard continue to ignore the 100 million tons of waste they dumped into our waters. I am spending my time exposing their pathetic excuses and demands for more empty promises will not be tolerated.

The sheer weight of this support proves the world is finally waking up to the destruction caused by these corporations. We have the momentum now to force the hand of the people responsible for this toxic pile of waste.
