U.N. Funded Ocean Garbage Collectors

We all hear about the massive garbage patch that is in the Pacific Ocean . Mostly because of run off and irresponsible individuals. Sometimes its because of company's or natural disasters . Most recently the earthquake in Japan. The U.N. should fix this problem that is polluting our oceans . It kills Birds , Fish and than in turn poisons us all . Maintaining our environment should be a priority for the world as a whole. Doing so will improve many areas most importantly safe food.  Ships specifically designed to skim the ocean for floating trash could easily solve this.
