Great Pacific Garbage Patch

Garbage doesn't always end up in the dump. One of the things that a river cant stop is trash flowing down the river. The largest landfill isn't even on land. The great Pacific garbage patch is in the middle of the Pacific. It is two times the size of Texas. The reason all of the trash forms right there is because it is where three currents intersect and pushes the trash into the same spot. There is no one else to blame for this dump then humans. If you were to take a giant net out there and scoop a lot of trash up.
