PLASTICS - The Plastic Island

Between California and Hawai there´re and island much larger than Spain, is called "Plastic soup" because there are a lot of waste made of plastics, increasingly. They become little particles, the fishes eat theirs and contaminates the beaches. Charles Moore discovered this stain in 1997 and he started to study it. There´re 100 millions tons of plastics circulating in the North Pacific, we only can see this stain by boat. It´s a problem because the birds can die intoxicated, the fishes that we eat have eaten this toxic compounds that are in this plastics sea that the humans have built and the government don´t help (is very expensive and is necessary technology, boats and a specializes crew)
