The New York Times

Brief Summary:
In a specific part of the Pacific Ocean, a huge gathering of trash is circulating which is so large that it defies exact measurement. This includes items such as light bulbs, toothbrushes, bottle caps, and much more all collecting to be a pile roughly greater that twice the size of Texas.
Short Response:
The more humans contribute to littering the larger these piles will become, and the more they will be. These are affecting the fish in the Pacific Ocean due to the high content of plastic in these piles of garbage.
