Floating Trash
Every year humans discard their trash which winds up in waterways around the world. Here is a video on one such “floating trash island” in the Caribbean Sea. What else can we learn about floating trash islands? Take a few moments to help the class crowdsource Internet resources to understand this “water catastrophe” (according to Evie).

From the age of 16, Boyan Slat, a Dutch boy, began to invent a way to clean up the plastic from the ocean. His project is called Ocean Cleanup. His plan is working but it doesn’t fix the problem of people actually creating the plastic mess in the first place.
The trash is 20,000 feet long
One plastic bag can travel over all of the oceans and one bird can eat 273 and that is the record. People are doing this those birds who ate that died.
