This is sad what hell have we done to our beautiful planet! A gift from God and this the way we thank him. I think all plastic should have mandatory recycling. Love you all!
Garbage Patches are a serious problem and many people don't know anything about them. im in a group called the Eco Pirates and we are working to clean our waters and stop garbage patches. but we can't do this all by ourselves so we need your help and together we can make a great difference. Please go check out this Video "MNTHS: Eco Pirates vs. Garbage Patches" thank you for your time
the government should pay people to bring in depris from the ocean, it would create tones of jobs and it would help our envioronment ten fold. like enough so people could make a living on just cleanin up the ocean everyday, but i know i know they dont wanna give people money for, in their eyes, no reason... ha
@BlazinRoor That's actually a brilliant idea. Plastic can be recycled. And given the work is would take to get out to these patches and back people would have to collect an enormous amount of trash to get the desired pay off. Considering so many fishermen lost their jobs in the BP oil spill they could use their existing equipment to collect the trash and get their jobs back. Not only the government could pay people for this either. Companies could make stuff out of the plastic..
If you live in the uk, there is an eco friendly company where you can now buy 100% bio degradable bags for the same price as in the supermarkets. Contact me for details as I cant post the website.
Where better to put all of this garbage but in the middle of the Pacific ocean? It's a big ocean. Lots of oceans and water on the planet. Either that or dump it all in California. It would blend right in
This is a mess. The most powerful thing to resolve this is human power, to work together. We've made this happen we can stop it. I know plastic never goes away it just keeps going smaller and smaller peaces, it takes thousands of years so I've been told for plastic to even desolve into the earths soil. This could mess up generations, of our childs, childs, child! But I think if we all take part of this we could at least slow down the proccess of this mess. Doncha think?
When you see someone acting cool at the expense of someone else...this is the root of unsustainable thinking. To Profit. Bold selfishness is sexy. And yes this is especially directed to the majority of women who get hot for a power man...pathetic weakness and is complicit.
You want to know when this will get fixed. When 1.There is a lot of money to be made from it 2.People can no longer fish(anywhere)and seafood is no longer available to eat. You see humans are pathetic self absorbed creatures and until it personally hits home with them or it can fill those greedy grubby little hands with money nothing will be done about it,PERIOD. I know I'm right,you know I'm right, you may just not want to admit it.
All we need to do is make another garbage patch of the same size and send it head on into the current one, thus knocking it out of the ocean's current and solving the problem.
@yomommasson111 There are other garbage patches in the ocean(s), and they're not solving much. If we were serious about resolving this issue we would ban plastics and charge industrial polluters with the task of cleanup (if seizing assets works for drug dealers then it should be good enough for REAL criminals).
Our society isn't sustainable, learn what a sustainable society and economy looks like by watching Zeitgeist Moving Forward.

We can have a positive future. We can create a more healthy environment for future generations. We just need to design our societies around those goals.
Plastic is a continues menace to the environment today and to our heath, It causes relies of highly toxic substance, such as Bxide, Benzene and Xylenes. Beside from hurting the eco-system these chemicals cases huge damage to humans and animals alike, everything from births defects, cancer to damage the nervous system and the immune system, affect the blood and kidneys.
Good video, but paper bags contribute to deforestation and often contain virgin redwood material. There needs to be greater investment in recycling these durable, waterproof plastic materials. We've only begun to explore the possibilities. Imagine the shelters for the homeless and impoverished that could be constructed. I see the garbage patch as a wasted resource.
First of all there's no avoiding plastic, ever see a wooden keyboard for sale? Second the problem is world-wide, this isn't a first world economy problem in and of itself. Third, beach cleanups help but only contribute to greater landfill contamination. The answer seems to be large scale industrial recycling, requiring deposits on all plastic containers- using any funds generated to recycle plastic waste, and full scale political will to educate the public. Too late I fear, FOX "news" is here.
You know, this could easily be affecting currents in the ocean, which could be why the weather is being so temperamental worldwide. The ocean currents /do/ influence a lot of our weather patterns, so it would make sense that a large mass blocking certain currents would directly affect everything. I don't think anyone else has said anything of the sort, but it's an idea.
Someday we'll be able to walk to china from the united states across a bridge of garbage. tied together with plastic shit. we can make a show about it called Garbage Road Truckers and show it on the Discovery Channel. With the recent tsunami in Japan we can expect this garbage patch to just become a habital society...like that Junk Society on the movie the Labyrinth and the old lady was all like "you're gonna need yor teddy bear mmm yes yes, oh and don't forget your book mmm yes"
I myself have been a loyal litterer in my community for year's. I will try to do more in my part to dump my crap off into the ocean watter's and further pollute the environment this I promise....Feed the oceans barrel's of Oil and freely empty your trash.
Iam in. Lets turn this tragedy arround. If there was a profit from all this trash and plasitc then it would be a race to collect it. Anybody got a boat and need a extra hand.
I have to do a research paper about somthing that has to do with the enviorment and I chose this. I never thought that this would be so out of hand and destuctive. And it shocked when I saw that nobody in my class, not even my teachers, knew about this. When I get my paper completed, I will put it up an youtube to try to raise the awaireness of this monstosity of man that kept growing by forces of nature.
Humans dont care unless they start choking on the trash. Then they will say its not my fault and look for someone else to clean up after them and blame them.
