This is SO so shocking and tragic, I had no idea these garbage floats existed in our oceans, nor these beautiful islands covered with trash. What on earth can we do to clear all this and prevent further destruction to our precious wildlife? If only I had the answer. I can see all wildlife ceasing to exist one day, if something isn't done.

I am showing this to my students.......in hope that they will THINK about THEIR FUTURE..............I continually pick up rubbish from our beaches and waterways, as I tell my students, it is NEVER-ENDING but must be done......................Miss Nat

aaronfromhastings, sounds good to me.

I'm interested to see how many people would like to declare citizenship of a non-territorial country that does not acknowledge the territorial powers on Earth, so that we can start again, without taxes, without cars, without goods from abroad, without global industry, and without titled ownership of land, rather the occupation of land. Transport that creates itself (animals). The death of supertechnology. Shorter, more fulfilled lives free from taxes and rent.

Please thumb up if you agree.
