It's 5:28, do you know where your used plastic is? Let me tell you. If it wasn't recycled and didn't make it to the landfill, chances are it's swirling around a ginormous ocean vortex A floating trash heap twice the size of Texas. This is where every stray piece of anything quietly dropped into a sewer lands, anything dropped into a river, stream or over the rail of a boat. About 10 million tons floating in the sea breaking down into tiny bit sized pieces. The fish eat it, and then so do you.
