28、es and containersplastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about 1,600 kilometers west of California.

38、se who pay the contribution are known as the insured and those who manage the pool of contributions as insurers.The legal basis of all insurance is the policy.

39、which is called the premium; in return, the insurer will pay an amount of money or compensation for losses if the risk or event insured against actually happens.The premium for insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience.
