Eight million tons of plastic winds up into the worldâs oceans every year, much of that accumulating in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. That 80,000 tons of fishing net, bottles, and other trash has more pieces of plastic than there are stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. And itâs only getting bigger. ------------------------------------------------------ #GreatPacificGarbagePatch #Recycling Science Insider tells you all you need to know about science: space, medicine, biotech, physiology, and more.

In the middle of the ocean lies the Giant Pacific Garbage Patch that shows us just how much this problem has gotten out of hand. Here are some comparisons on how massive the Giant Pacific Garbage Patch is. Following is a transcript of the video. The world produces enough plastic each year to build 50 Pyramids of Giza. Thatâs over 350 million tons of candy wrappers, PVC pipes, and synthetic t-shirts. While most of it ends up in landfills 8 million tons wind up in our oceans each year. Where most finds its way into massive garbage patches around the world. And the biggest of them all is called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. How Big The Great Pacific Garbage Patch Really Is. If you picked up each piece of plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch youâd carry away about 1.8 trillion individual pieces. Thatâs ten times more than there are stars in our Milky Way Galaxy. And it would weigh a whopping 80,000 tons. Equivalent to the weight of three Statues of Liberty. Half of the entire patch is made of plastic fishing nets, lines, and ropes, which come from intense fishing activity near the area. The other half is mostly hard plastics and films, like water bottles and plastic wrap. But donât let the name âGreat Pacific Garbage Patchâ fool you. It doesnât look like a giant mountain of trash at all. Itâs actually scattered over a region of ocean thatâs twice the size of Texas, according to some estimates. So if you wanted to pick up every piece of plastic, it would take you 121 days at a walking pace of 5 km/hr to cover the entire area. Though in reality, thereâs no true end since the garbage patch is constantly ebbing and flowing with the ocean currents. But letâs pretend you could scoop it all up into one place. Thereâd be enough plastic to fill 100 Boeing 747 planes! And the patch is only getting bigger. Itâs been growing exponentially larger for nearly 70 years. Partly because once the plastic is there itâll stick around for centuries. Those plastic fishing lines, for example, will take 600 years to break down. And even after they break down, the damage doesnât stop there. Most end up as microplastics that are too small to see with the naked eye. But can make it into the bellies of sea animals and ultimately the humans that eat those animals. Worldwide, researchers have found ingested microplastics in, every species of sea turtle. Nearly 60% of whale species. And almost 60% of seabirds. Plus, more plastic is pouring into the worldâs oceans each day. In fact, experts estimate that by the year 2050 the amount of plastic in the oceans will outweigh all the worldâs fish. Think about that the next time you toss your water bottle in the trash because the recyclingâs full.
