We all know that journalists off and makes things sound worse than they are but they aren't the only ones it seems that scientists sometimes do it too in the past scientists have claimed that the great Pacific garbage patch and that's the area in the Pacific Ocean where plastic waste is collected together to create one can of big garbage Island anyway they have claimed that this area of garbage is twice the size of the state of Texas or 20 times the size of England some scientists even said that there is more plastic in the ocean than plankton and that's the tiny animals and plants that fish eat but a new report shows that while there is a very serious problem for the environment. It's not as great as many scientists have said the results show that the garbage covers an area that's much smaller than Texas and while plastic can harm some sea life it actually feeds other tiny living creatures for this reason the report concludes that we shouldn't try to remove the plastic but should focus on stopping more garbage from entering the ocean so it doesn't get worse in the future.
