Mobro 4000 Garbage Barge

I was assigned the topic of the Mobro 4K Garbage Barge. I had never heard of this disaster but I knew what a barge was so I had some sort of idea of what this might have been. It turns out that a garbage company named Mobro was looking for a different way to get rid of garbage. So they decided to send out these garbage barges to the ocean and hoped that it would land in North Carolina. Instead the barge traveled all the way to Belize & finally ended up back in NY. A couple European countries decided this was a good idea & are now trying to import garbage to fuel their energy plants.
