Global pollution

I recently watched a programme called 'Life after people' where it stated that there is an area of plastic rubbish about twice the size of Texas, swirling around in the Pacific Ocean. It also stated that it would take many years for the plastic to break down and, as it only breaks down into smaller particles, it will eventually enter into the food chain.
It must surely be, assuming that every ocean and land mass is accumulating such toxic waste, a real and present danger to all life on earth. What, if anything, is being done about it?
