Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 週三， 2008年9月17日

By通過 Neil McLaughlin尼爾麥克勞克林 | By now you have likely heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch , a tragic byproduct of the plastics industry and consumerism that is an island of garbage floating in the northern Pacific Ocean. |由現在你有可能聽到的偉大太平洋垃圾修補程序 ，一個悲慘的副產品塑料工業和消費是一個島國，垃圾漂浮在北太平洋。 Originally the size of Texas and approaching the size of the Sun, this gargantuan pile of plastic is collected by currents that swirl around in a big circle.原來的大小德克薩斯州和臨近的大小的太陽，這龐大的一堆塑料是所收集的電流渦流左右，在一個大循環。 Most of the debris is picked up from the shores of both China and North America that sandwich it.大部分的碎片拾起，從海岸的中國和北美的夾心。

As plastic never goes away, it eventually crumbles up into tiny bits (photo-degrades).作為塑料從未消失了，它一旦崩潰，最終成細小的比特（圖片-降解）。 These bits of plastic enter the這些位的塑料進入 food食物 supply and are passed from the jelly fish all the way back up to humans where it is stored in their livers (that part is only fair).供應，並通過從果凍的所有魚類的方式備份到人類的地方，這是儲存在其肝臟（即部分才是公平的）。 Plastic also pollutes the塑料也污染 water水 with PCB’s ( PolyChlorinated Biphenyls , dangerous carcinogens and hormone disruptors).與印刷電路板的（ 多氯聯苯 ，危險的致癌物質及激素干擾）。

While no one person is to blame, every person has contributed to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (it’sa safe bet the Atlantic also has one lurking somewhere).雖然沒有一個人是咎由自取，每個人都有貢獻，向偉大的太平洋垃圾修補程序（它是安全的賭注，大西洋也有一個隱患某處）。 Whether one throws litter on the ground or trusts in their municipal trash companies to do it for them, everyone throws away plastic and it ends up in the ocean and then back in our bodies.是否一全垃圾在地面上或信託在其市政垃圾桶公司這樣做對他們來說，每個人都拋棄塑膠製品及它結束了在海洋，然後回到我們的機構。

While some say cleanup is impossible, hopefully someday someone will find a solution.雖然有人說，清理是不可能的，希望總有一天，會有人找到解決辦法。 Perhaps they will find a way to convert plastic to energy (it is made of oil after all), and they can make a ship refueling station out there that will produce energy from plastic.也許他們會找到一種方法，轉換塑膠能源（它是由石油畢竟），他們可以使船舶的加油站出在那裡，會產生能源，從塑料。 Or perhaps nanotech robots can disassemble it and bring it to the recycler.或也許是納米技術的機器人可以拆開它，把它送到了回收再利用。 (Such technology would be extremely dangerous as it would have to be careful not to accidentally disassemble Kenny Rogers face). （這種技術將是非常危險的，因為它便要小心，不要無意中拆開肯尼羅傑斯面對）。 In the meantime there are many things people can do to at least help prevent this pile of garbage from getting any larger.在此期間有很多事情的人可以做的，至少有助於防止這一堆垃圾，從收到任何較大。
