Toxic: Garbage Island - Trouble at Sea - Trailer

STARTS April 7th on www.VBS.tv

Follow the show here: http://www.vbs.tv/shows/toxic/garbage-island/

For years we've been reading about a patch of garbage the size of Texas floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, ingeniously dubbed the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Basically, any trash that gets dumped in the water rides the currents to this one spot and joins an ever-increasing flotilla of crap. For all the breathless accounts of the mess and its impact on the area's sealife, however, no one seemed to have a picture of the buildup.

In order to sate our own curiosity, VBS joined the crew of a research vessel studying the trash and sailed out into one of the most remote spots of open water in the world, the North Pacific Gyre, in search of this mythical garbage island. What we discovered once we got there was an ecological disaster beyond any of our expectations and possibly the single worst thing human beings have done to the planet and ourselves. Hope you're into cancer and sex-reversal!

After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, we seemed to have really trashed the planet after only a couple of hundred years (much less the last 150). What an incredible, mind boggling mess.

who else imagined an island full of old baseball cards, comics, and other american shit; like coke machines piled high; littered with gum; something you could walk on.

Thank you for making a difference, I will pass this video to everyone I know. We must make a radical shift and create awareness.
