Well, seems as though this Jordan fuck-wit would be out of a job if America was to suddenly shape up... He thinks it's " darkly beautiful" that nearly all species of fish in the fucking eastern garbage patch are dying because of humanity's pigheadedness? well Jordan, I think there is nothing beautiful or comical about it.

Good vid, but you might remove the "american" because Europe, Japan, etc. are big consumers too

The thing is though we are not taught as a society not to consider these things as wasteful. Because of all these things listed in this video, someone is making an absolute fortune out of them.
They sell us crap designed to brake down, so we buy more. and when the crap all piles up, they blame society for it.
The more we see videos like this one the better armed we are to consider our footprint on the planet.
Great video, really makes you think, which is a very good thing indeed.

I would love to see his art in person one day as well. Thanks for getting it out to a large audience in any resolution.

Thanks judy....YouTube's resolution leaves a lot to be desired and it really didn't do justice to Mr. Jordan's work. I hope to see one of his exhibits in person some day.
