Tons of garbage that swept down the Los Angeles
River after a storm is corralled by a boom in Long Beach, Ca. Most plastic
trash makes its way to the ocean and can be found washed up on beaches around
the world. 'Every little piece of plastic manufactured in the past 50 years
that made it into the ocean is still out there somewhere,' Anthony L.

there is no effective mechanism to break it down.'
