Approximately 500 billion plastic bags are produced each year and the UN Environment Program estimates that there are 46,000 pieces of plastic litter in every square mile of ocean.

Much faster — as in three months vs. one thousand years. Oh Canada, how about taking on the Pacific Garbage Island? [via Morgan Maher @ Reality Sandwich]
