GARBAGE ISLAND!
Garbage Island is a is a gyre of marine debris in the central North Pacific Ocean.
It's said to be twice the size of Texas and full of debris. The main debris is plastic! This is really bad, since plastic is not biodegradable. The plastics (and other debris) are polluting the oceans and harming innocent animals.
Trash pilled so high, it's sitting on the ocean!

The picture above, is quite disturbing I put it up so people can see the negative consequences of properer disposal of waste.
"It is estimated that 80% of the plastic in the ocean comes from land sources while 20% comes from ships at sea"
"Because the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is so far from any country’s coastline, no nation will take responsibility or provide the funding to clean it up. Many international organizations, however, are dedicated to preventing the patch from growing any further."
The reason why I picked Garbage Island out of all the videos is because it seemed the most shocking to me.
