Saw this on Greenpeace.org:
Plastic trash and other flotsam that is either directly thrown or washed by rivers into the North Pacific, is swept up by the currents of a gigantic swirling vortex called the North Pacific Gyre. In the centre, the calm, just northeast of Hawai'i the result is a trash carpet that scientists calculate has now reached the size of Texas.
