running out of time

Time is running out for our oceans. Tons of trash in the Pacific Gyre have made this a floating trash heap. It is oceanfill, a landfill on water.

Here is one high school student that has a way to solve the problem. By using paper instead of plastic we can use less fossil fuels since paper comes from trees and is a renewable resource, also paper is biodegradable and will rot without forming huge piles of floating garbage in our oceans.
