<p>Ms. Maggio shares the Green Team fact of the week!</p>
<p><em>Only 7% of plastic in the USA is recycled. The largest plastic dump on earth is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch — which is </em><strong>approximately 1.6 million square kilometers of plastic in the ocean. Double the size of Texas!! </strong><em>Plastic is not biodegradable, and these plastic islands are expected to increase in size and number. Please recycle accordingly, and protect our oceans!</em> </p>
