eastern coast of Japan and the western part _______________________________________
of Hawaii. About 70% of the rubbish is plastic. _______________________________________
Plastic is dangerous to wildlife because
animals that eat it are poisoned or killed. 6 Why is it impossible to clean up the Great Pacific
Garbage Patch?
Apart from killing and harming wildlife, the _______________________________________
plastic from the Garbage Patches pollutes _______________________________________
beaches and makes swimming and fishing
dangerous for humans. Governments and
communities are making changes to stop
rubbish ending up in the Garbage Patches.
Recycling and reusing plastic is the first step.
Some communities in Hawaii have stopped
using plastic bags completely and use bags
made of environmentally friendly materials.
In Hawaii there are regular clean-up projects
run by volunteers to help clear the beaches.
It is impossible to clean up the Great Pacific
Garbage Patch; the area occupied by the
rubbish is far too large and moves around too
much. However, we can change the way we
deal with waste. We should all work together
to recycle and reduce waste.
