    The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is caused by humans throwing garbage in oceans which takes hundreds of years to decompose, ocean mining sites drilling deep into the oceans creating sulfide deposits, and pollution from the atmosphere blowing inland debris and trash into the oceans over long distances. The garbage patch will rapidly grow to three times the size of Texas in the next 10 years and plastic will remain in the ocean for centuries without decomposing.
