UN must make a law with inspector go to each country . UN must buy start at 10 big ships for collect the all the garbage in the ocean paid each country. Sounds good solve the problem
There are some serious immoral d-bags commenting on here. With the whole "its so big, we might as well" argument you better be careful. With that logic you'll be supporting ideas like the human population is so big its no biggie if a bunch get snuffed out. Sometimes slippery slope thinking reflects an exceptional level of idiocy.
blah who cares, ocean is really huge, there is enough space to dump fucking trillion tons of shit in it, i say keep dumping rather have it in the ocean than on land
@bomberfun1 really?! really? can you even be more stupid and dumber than a freaking idiot like you ?! fuck how people like you freak me out!!! are you the only one on this planet, huh?! are you going to be the last one this planet, huh?! think about what you say or rather get educated first next time !!!!!
Recycling does not get rid of this problem. It will still end up where it's harmful to the creatures & eventually killing mankind everywhere. everything we make plastics or rubber Etc, is killing the planet "SLOWLY" like a human smoking cigarettes.
Stop manufacturing the shit. That's the difference that will save everything & everyone.!!!
Honestly, I can't believe a company hasn't already taken advantage of this massive source of nearly free plastic and setup a collection facility on the end of these rivers that lead into the ocean.
Earth is our only home and for generations to come. We should all take care of our planet. Put your waste in the trashcans, be smart and take care of your environment.
Plastics are mostly petroleum based. When the oil runs out I guess we'll finally stop making those, and stop adding to the garbage patch. One could call that an upside, but awful damage will have been done.
There are some plastics made from casein, and other types, but they don't have the unfortunate versatility of the petroleum ones. Don't know what they do in sea-water.
@leotheloser first dumoing this shit in space would make it worse because we would slowly be surronded in garbage and not see day or night just a ton of garbage and dumping it in volcanoes would cause toxic fumes.
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.
This is so unfortunate. I wish I could have faith that something can be done. The reality is that until someone can make the cleanup economically viable and/or profitable, it will never happen. If I use reusable containers and try to be as conservative as possible, with like minded people, it doesn't amount to a fart in a windstorm compared to the billions of selfish skanks out there that seem to think that the human race can mistreat the earth and nothing negative is going to happen.

To put that into perspective, consider that the best-selling work of fiction that year had an initial printing of 12 million copies in the United States. Not to mention, it seems that this "fictional" book, as you say, is historically accurate.

Guess what everybody? Noody is going to do a damn thing about this problem. Know why? Not one country has the balls to do anything about it. This is why Humans will destroy themselves. We are all screwed not by meteors, but becase we have brought in ourselves.
This has been known of for 60 years but only now is the media beginning to cover it? Thanks, assholes! And especially thanks to Dupont & their stockholders who should be the 1st to foo the clean up bill!

People tease me for being so intensely fervent about recycling and reducing waste. The poor state of our planet is exactly why I do it. I’ve even gone beyond my municipal recycling program and have found a place that recycles all types of plastics; including polystyrene.
The level of waste we’re seeing in our streets and oceans all comes down to our rampant consumerism in the developed world.
This atrocity has made me embarrassed to be associated with human beings.
Humans dont deserve the earth anymore and the sooner we all die out the better for the planet and its wildlife. Sorry but we are the parasite's in this world!
Nature is the only one that is going to solve this problem. The elimination of this stupid, lazy civilization is the only answer. Mankind is like a virus on this planet, we have destroyed everything we have touched and finally, we are trying to kill the planet. Mother Nature will have the last laugh. All she has to do is sit back and watch us kill ourselves at an alarmingly efficient rate.
Thank you for contributing work creating awareness for the poisoning of our oceans with plastics. If all the world could be set into producing weapons and war for all of 5 years during World War 2 and cold war for 50 to 70 years then hopefully we can set it to clean up plastics for 5 to 70 years.
Please join my facebook group so we can have real conversations about this problem, how we can help to spread awareness and what we can to help cut down on the increasing amount of plastic being added to the oceans each year!
Please join my facebook group "Don't Be Trashy. Recycle." It is to spread the word and it is also a project for my biology class. Send it to everyone you know. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!!
When u see things like this u have to ask do we really have the right of stewardship for this world, do we deserve to survive? The only creatures that benefit from our existence is us, and even then we spoil our own existence, how stupid is that? Too many of us and way too greedy, sooner or later we'll pay for it, all of us, and everything else alive will pay too. The only world known to support life in the universe, a unique and irreplaceable gift, and look how we treat it- Talent :(
what a total f*ck up :( theres something very wrong with a species that does this to its own habitat, could say ignorance is bliss, but we are the only species that can actively choose to turn a blind eye to any problems we cause, which we do admirably to anything that brings our way of life into question.
We recently wen on vacation to Canada's wet coast. I was shocked to see plastice on ever beach! Sometining I did not see on visits 15 and 40 years ago. Humans are the scourge of the earth!
As of writing this, the video has been on Youtube for 18 months and had been veiwed 77,000 times. Lady Gaga's lame video "Bad Romance" has been viewed 190 MILLION times in five months.
Here's my idea: Let's make a video of Lady Gaga in a skimpy swimsuit, swimming around in this mess. Millions would surely log on to see it. However, I doubt even that would open anyone's eyes or make them change their ways,,,
@DSmyles Are you stupid? Most non-recycled plastic ends up in landfills or furnaces, not the Pacific.
Claiming there is more plastic than plankton in the gyre is outrageously dishonest. The guy is making it up. There has not been that much plastic ever manufactured let alone dumped into the Pacific. You have no idea how big the ocean is and how insignificant we are, do you?!
If it's so true, where are the aeriel shots of quare miles of plastics?
Really I've never seen something in smaller seas. Like Mediterranean, or Ionian or Adriatic. How only in Pacific? Maybe because is too far and we cant. check it out? I don't know, just my thoughts.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ribsandbiscuits, the point you keep making is stupid. We don't use the ocean for a dump, we have landfills which is where the vast majority of plastics end up if it isn't melted down. All the plastic ever made could not create a pile the size of Texas, either. That is such bullshit and you are a retard for thinking this video is in any way true. Ok, there's some plastic in the ocean, but it amounts to a grain of sand on a beach. IDIOTS!
Yeah, well done 'naitchah boy'. The ocean's massive so lets dump all our crap it in. Wonderful logic. And I guess those animals habitats being destroyed; well stupid animals should just move...
Yeah "eco morons"; can't believe you actually care about the planet! Fish and birds stink anyway...let's chuck more bottle tops in the sea so we can kill them all.
Yes, eco-morons. The ocean is WAY too big for us to do anything significant to it, you tit, ribs and biscuits.
All they have is localized pictures and they make it sound like we are some how suddenly big enough to fill the ocean. Get a brain. Look at how tiny we are on the planet compared to the ocean. You think bottle caps make a difference enough to affect habittats? You are just gullibly stupid.
@NaitchahBoy I would suggest that you get a brain before you make false claims about the devastating impact that humans are having on the environment. In fact, I challenge you to save all of the plastic you use in one week and multiply it by the number of people in the world. Then maybe you'll understand that what you and I consume and throw away does add up and it will result in very serious consequences.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Do you morons who believe this shit have any idea how big the Pacific Ocean is? This is such a load of propagandist crap. The guy even says they are really concerned about dust. HOLY FUCK! Dust on the ocean is nothing. These idiots think we can affect the oceans, but the oceans are 1000000 times bigger than the cities we live in, and how much of the plastic we use ends up there?
@NaitchahBoy you are a douchebag. The average person produces 65kg of disposable plastic waste every year. You think that times the decades that we've had disposable plastic and then take into account that there is an excess of 6 BILLION people on earth? DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT 6 BILLION FUCKING PEOPLE CAN'T DESTROY A FEW FUCKING ECOSYSTEMS IN A FEW YEARS YOU FUCKING DICKHEAD?
@30PAGES Most of the people producing this plastc waste don't live anywhere near the Pacific, idiot! Do ships transport if from Europe, Africa and the 90% of the Americas west of the moutains? Do ALL people on Earth create 150# of plastic trash per year? I don't. Your statistics are baseless propaganda, as is this shideo. The size of this dump means it can be seen from satellite pictures if you zoom in close enough, but all they show here are staged close ups of a few cups and wrappers.
we are the consumers, we can refuse to buy anything package in plastic, and the producers will package it in something better. if only we were brave enough to say no to plastic for say a month, they would crap their expensive suits and think of something better.
but people cant go without their soda for more than a day. we are worthless consumers who refuse to act until disaster strikes. worthless!
Guess your going Amish...I cant think of anything not packaged in some sort of plastic. 10 million years from now scientist will scratch their collective heads at the plastic layer right before the mass extinction layer.
@sotpap2003 Where I live the shop has to take back all packaging from the consumer. Just do that in your supermarket. Leave the plastic there and they will soon rethink their position on waste.
I used to buy milk using my own aluminium containers. For more than 10 years without one single package needed. Then tetra-pack came along and with it mountains of garbage. What about reusable containers? We're using reusable software, but not reusable hardware?
@serbocroat Wow, that is not such a strange idea, I believe it is going to take some out of the box thinking like that to really help , This is a terrible thing Everyone needs to know about this spread the word , I saw the Captain of the Ship on Letterman and he was very very disturbed about nothing can be done..He compared it to us lighting a fuse of a Bomb on the Earth that will exploded in like 100yrs and we cannot do anything about ....We need to get all minds on this thing...Please spread
Yeah, lets stop using plastic as much as we can. Each one of us contributes to stop this shit. but plastic is so deep in our sad sad society that this will be very hard !
They at least do use paper-based cups and cartons now. They previously used plastic and styrofoam. All fast food franchises should be required to use biodegradable products.
Particularly McD's which appear intent on creating its own rubbish continent. D'yas see how many bags of refuse each store goes through each day? Geesh if they're not carting it away for recycling, they deserve to have their asses firmly punted.
If we manage to get our act together, one day, we'll make companies responsible for the *entire* life-cycle of their product. Dell kinda do, taking back old PCs for recycling, but it should be the law. Cost: we pay more. Not a bad solution, imho.
@jackburton2009 sorry to say but these items are waxed and bleached and therefore a) harder to break down and b) full of industrial chemicals. Yes, they are better than plastic and styrofoam but they are not as 'green' as the producers say and are used to greenwash - the assumption that something is environmentally friendly and biodegradable resulting from the product being coloured green or containing one or two environmentally friendly materials.
@QuantumBabe You cant blame my country. We are not dumping one single piece of plastic, because we are not stupid. We are recycling it since beginning of the 1980s.
The people to blame are 50% the USA and 50% east asia. They are the top consumers of throw-away-products. Waste is necessary to keep capitalistic models alive.
@MillyVanillification Hehe, seems like you read a beginners book to sociology and politics. A market is necessary for capitalism, and the money recycling centers make in the United States from the government alone is sickening.
ok time to drop the bomb we really dont deserve to live here human scum !!!! congrats us canada phillipines japan asia australia new zealand south america !!FUCKING IDIOTS !!!
A problem like this requires BIG Government intervention. A government for the people, of the people, and by the people. Don't let the corporate slave-masters and henchmen distort reality and get you to surrender the power given to real people by the constitution.
We need to realize that there are old common practices that we should restore. Like growing your own food, its not hard at all to do. Its just most people are stupid, and ignorant and rather say 'Yawn, if I can't see this dump its not there." Well you're most likely in a concrete cage in downtown Los Angeles.
Why can't I buy shampoo and other similar products in cartons like milk used to come in? I could keep a dispenser and refill it, or simply use the cartons. If things weren't made of plastic, they'd be made of metal, wood, glass, paper. There are probably only a very few things that can only be made of plastic.
a plastic water bottle is used for about two minutes then discarded. we do not need such a perminant container for such temporary use. lets buy water cartons like, milk cartons, or a hemp fiber water bottle.
I got into an argument with a cashier in a store once about plastic bags. I asked for plastic and she started moralizing at me - it was Haggen - anyway, I told her I like to use them as garbage bags. She insisted this was bad because they end up in the landfill, ocean, blah, blah. Okay, so if stores stop providing plastic, then I need to start buying garbage bags - which are guess what - PLASTIC! Not using garbage bags is filthy, and paper bags are unsuitable. What's the solution enviro-people?
If the government would step up and say to the manufacturers "No more plastic!" or "Standardize Plastic!" or "More recycling of plastic!" everything would change overnight... Vote for action! Not for words and smiles.
Do you realize how drastically plastic has improved every aspect of life? Sure we need to be responsible with it, but without plastic, your pretty little world filled with computers, TV, health devices, and food products would come crashing down.
The answer is NOT the government. The answer is humankind being more responsible. We need to STOP relying on our government and start being responsible for ourselves. And, we need to make people aware so that they can make responsible and informed decisions. However, that doesn't mean pointing fingers or blaming. It starts with you and me.

Ocean Voyage Institute is making a HUGE effort to clean up this mess. They are currently raising funds to go the North Pacific Gyre this summer with a team of volunteers to collect the plastic and trash that has accumulated there, as well as researching environmentally friendly ways to dispose of it. Please help save our oceans and the wildlife that live there by googling “dream sail raffle” and visiting our website, as well as posting it on your pages!

People tease me for being so intensely fervent about recycling and reducing waste. The poor state of our planet is exactly why I do it. I’ve even gone beyond my municipal recycling program and have found a place that recycles all types of plastics; including polystyrene.
The level of waste we’re seeing in our streets and oceans all comes down to our rampant consumerism in the developed world.
This atrocity has made me embarrassed to be associated with human beings.

Nature is the only one that is going to solve this problem. The elimination of this stupid, lazy civilization is the only answer. Mankind is like a virus on this planet, we have destroyed everything we have touched and finally, we are trying to kill the planet. Mother Nature will have the last laugh. All she has to do is sit back and watch us kill ourselves at an alarmingly efficient rate.
Goodbye civilization...

Thank you for contributing work creating awareness for the poisoning of our oceans with plastics. If all the world could be set into producing weapons and war for all of 5 years during World War 2 and cold war for 50 to 70 years then hopefully we can set it to clean up plastics for 5 to 70 years.

ribsandbiscuits, the point you keep making is stupid. We don't use the ocean for a dump, we have landfills which is where the vast majority of plastics end up if it isn't melted down. All the plastic ever made could not create a pile the size of Texas, either. That is such bullshit and you are a retard for thinking this video is in any way true.

@NaitchahBoy I would suggest that you get a brain before you make false claims about the devastating impact that humans are having on the environment. In fact, I challenge you to save all of the plastic you use in one week and multiply it by the number of people in the world. Then maybe you'll understand that what you and I consume and throw away does add up and it will result in very serious consequences.

@jackburton2009 sorry to say but these items are waxed and bleached and therefore a) harder to break down and b) full of industrial chemicals. Yes, they are better than plastic and styrofoam but they are not as 'green' as the producers say and are used to greenwash - the assumption that something is environmentally friendly and biodegradable resulting from the product being coloured green or containing one or two environmentally friendly materials.
