I just read an article on Zerohedge recently that said there is metric tons of plastic on the northern Polar cap oceans in areas that should not have any trash at all. The article also stated that fish and sea birds are all now part plastic because of this pollution. That even young fish and birds can be found with a large percentage of plastic in their stomachs.
