Read an article ( No I do not know if true or correct) in National Geographic that the vast bulk of ocean trash, including that in the great pile, comes from China and Asia. I have also traveled there a lot, and India as well. Whatever savings we achieve here in terms of trash and carbon footprint ( another National Geographic article sourced carbon efforts) will have a very minor impact. Not a reason not to do our best here, but the main contributors seem to lie beyond our efforts
