Garbage Island (?)

All the people must not believe about what they see in this photo. The photo is a picture of a very big island, its two times of the size of Texas is floating somewhere between San Francisco and Hawaii. It consists of 80 percent plastics and weighs some 3.5 million tons of floats where few people ever travel, in a no man's land between San Francisco and Hawaii. 
Mounds that resemble the shape of a luxury building is a mound of garbage at sea. By the time, mounds of garbage on the island continues to grow. Not all the garbage that piled it can decompose properly, even a lot of materials that are not biodegradable at all and if the world community does not care about the condition of the island, can we imagine what will happen in the future? 
The garbage pile would interfere with many things, especially in the marine ecosystem itself. contained in marine life nearby would be disturbed, because the garbage will give good effects for marine life. Human waste would give toxic to the marine life. The chemicals which is present in the waste pile will pollute the ocean and the life within it. 
As the young generation who working in the world of International Relations, we must be aware of this issue and start to make a change to the earth. There are many people who are still not aware of the importance of marine life for human, then there are still many people are tend to ignore to talk about the issue.  
Eco-ciede is one of the issue in International Relations which is rarely touched by countries. If there is enough countries who are care enough, they should be ready to handle the garbage problem which must be bring a bad impact to the neighboring countries. It will be better if the countries in the world pay more attention to life in the sea. People should show to the world that, this is not human culture which is do damaging the nature.
