Posted: Print Article This story originally appeared on Mother Nature Network: It's beyond sobering and bordering on infuriating: Almost every piece of plastic ever made still exists today - and plenty of those bottle caps, lighters, pen casings, and plastic bottles have ended up in the ocean, where their accumulated debris have formed giant bits-of-plastic gyres in every major ocean on Earth.

FOR California, there hasn't ever been a summer quite like the summer of 2015. The state and its 39 million residents are about to enter the fifth year of a drought. It has been the driest four-year period in California history - and the hottest, too.
