particles smaller than five millimetres (one inch)I think that something may have gotten lost in translation.
Or else they must have really, really big millimetres in France.

In real America tourists would drive 200 miles out of their way to see the NPSG.

If it continues to grow at the rate of hyperbole, we’ll be soon be able to traverse the stars on a road of plastic.

A lot of disposable plastic products like foam cups and garbage bags for example are impregnated with bacteria derived enzymes that greatly speed up their environmental breakdown. Back in the 80’s and 90’s a disposable foam cup could last months. Now they fall apart after a week or so due to enzyme accelerated degradation.

This is why whenever I see a sea turtle, I tie a plastic bag to one of its arms, so they can go help pick this up.

No mention of the one size fits all, ribbed for her pleasure sort of debris. I see them all the time on Lake Ontario where the Genesee River empties out. The border line is referred to as the scum line.

And scientists warned the killer soup of microplastic -- particles smaller than five millimetres (one inch) I have a tough time takining any technical article seriously which can't do a simple conversion properly.
Five millimeters is a fifth of an inch.

Today, scientists estimate the swirling mass of waste known as the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) or the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, is roughly the size of Texas. So there's photos of this gigantic thing, right?
Right?
