The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

As the first term finished a new topic arises within the subject of Social Sciences. As such, we begin to look at The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), in which we uncover what it is and the cause of why it has happened. Plastic, pollution, as well as global warming, are major issues in modern times.  It could change the future as we know it in just several decades to come. Drastic changes must be made. However, with the amount of pollution--plastic--just in our oceans, it is truly ever possible?  

Through our constant usage of plastic, it has accumulated in such a great amount in which it is able to out-size a country. A great example being the GPGP, more than 3 times the size of France. It is an accumulation of plastic held by the ocean currents in the Pacific. A sentiment to our ignorance and resistance to change many of our ways.

    The blogpost you've created is well-written, it's very detailed and the layout provides a clean space to be able to read well and the picture you added gave us readers a visual outlook of what the GPGP look like and how it affects the human and marine life.

  2. Hey Axle.
    The visuals of your slideshow are very appealing to the eyes and also contain the information your trying to put across. Some of your slides have parts that are very boring and white, they just don't blend with what your visuals show. Amazing visuals and great content for anyone wanting to inform themselves about the GPGP.
