What is the largest landfill in the world?
Located halfway between the west coast of the United States and Japan floats a mass of plastic twice the size of Texas. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a swirling mass of plastic waste caused by 80 percent land run off and 20 percent ship dumping.This trash gets trapped between two main gyres that act as a whirlpool and collect this trash. In some areas the plastics are estimated to be 90 feet thick.
