Garbage Patch

A recycling centre

A floating soup of rubbish in the middle of the Pacific Ocean

A landfill site in France

A type of marine wildlife

The size of France

The size of a small island

The size of a football field

The size of a city

Plastic bottles

Fishing nets

Tires

All of the above

It blocks their natural habitat

They mistake it for food and ingest it

It releases harmful chemicals into the water

It attracts predators that harm them

Boats and sea travellers

Recycling centres

Land

Trash cans on beaches

The amount of rubbish will decrease

The amount of rubbish will stay the same

The amount of rubbish will grow very quickly

The patch will disappear completely

Building more recycling centres

Using more plastic products

Reducing the use of plastic and other non-biodegradable products

Increasing fishing activities in the area

It affects the environment

It doesn't matter where we throw our trash

It is not our responsibility to keep the environment clean

The garbage will eventually disappear on its own.
