Description
How do plastics impact the ocean environment through the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and how can individual households reduce their single-use plastic usage? I studied this question to understand the journey of single-use plastics to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) and their effects on the environment and marine animals while also finding actions households can take to reduce the amount of plastics being dis posed of in order to reduce the size of the Patch in the ocean.
