The Great Garbage Patch

Today (March 31st 2010) I was shocked to read on the news that a new island was spotted in the Atlantic. This island it's not made of sand but of garbage!!!!

And I discovered that this type of island exists also in the Pacific ocean and it's called the Great Garbage Patch.

I don't know how to comment this, I am shocked.
