The Great Pacific Garbage Patch has become an overwhelming concern in need of serious attention by the government and citizens. Better waste management is crucial in ensuring that waste does not continue to land in the ocean. Awareness about this environmental concern is crucial, in order for people to understand the parameters of the dilemma and the potential risks. A collective effort, including political will on behalf of the government and sustainable practices by citizens, is crucial in addressing the problem effectively.
