What is the Pacific Gyer?

In Beyond Recycling we have been learning about Plastic.  In particular, today we learned about where much of this plastic is ending up.  Below is a clip about the "Pacific Gyer."  Please watch this short movie clip and discuss with your child.  This is a very important issue that our community, country and the world will need to deal with.  I found this video surprising (as I was not aware of this) and quite disturbing.  I always knew this existed, but like many I probably do not put that much thought into the bigger picture.

Please watch the clip below:

Thanks YouTube and Google for the video and image.
