I never knew about the "continents of floating garbage"

I came across this article and never knew it was possible, much less for real! Large floating masses of garbage twice the size of Texas killing fish and birds, smothering life on the sea floor, releasing toxic chemicals everywhere...we need to take some kind of action now! Sarah Palin can help us maybe....

"Continents of floating garbage" Read it for yourself. You will be as amazed as I was. This is definitely a problem to be confronted head-on.
