Eco Watch - A new study by the 5 Gyres Institute provides the first comprehensive estimate of how much plastic
there actually is in the world’s oceans. It found that plastic was not
just confined to the gyres, but was widely dispersed throughout the
oceans...The estimate concludes that approximately 5.25 trillion
plastic particles—about 269,000 tons—have ended up in the oceans.

Really - a plastic particle for every dollar Obama has added to the national debt. So, depending on your viewpoint, that's either a trivial amount not worth considering, or it's the greatest threat to humanity since time began.
