Currently, scientists believe the world's largest garbage dump isn't on land...it's in the Pacific Ocean. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch stretches from the coast of California to Japan, and it's estimated to be twice the size of Texas. Years of bottles, bags, toys, packaging and plastic trash from all corners of the Earth are swirling in a plastic whirlpool in the North Pacific. Discarded water bottles from Iowa, takeout containers from New York City, flip-flops from California and plastic debris from the world over make their way from land into storm drains, streams, rivers and other waterways. They are carried out sea, where they get trapped in swirling ocean currents - forming a giant, floating trash dump of an enormous proportion - no matter how you quantify it.

It saddens me to have watched these videos and to find out "WE" have known about this for TEN YEARS and seem to be doing nothing! This Plastic Garbage Dump that is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean collecting all the plastic debris and litter from the world is getting bigger every year. It's now so big that it seems that it's too much for us to clean up, and scientists say that the ocean is cleansing itself little by little, evidenced by the plastics on our beaches, but if we continue to litter and not recycle our plastics it will only get worse.

If watching these videos doesn't motivate you to NOT litter or dump any more plastic, stop buying bottled water, and throw the plastic CAPS away (since nobody recycles them), and NEVER throw another piece of plastic bag, bottle, ball, toothbrush, cup, toy, or anything plastic carelessly away again, then you don't deserve to be an inhabitant of this planet, period! Harsh, I know, but think of the rest of us sharing this planet with you. If all the creatures in the ocean die, so do we, get it?
Changing our behavior is our only hope!

Sincerely,

You weren't so alienated that you didn't watch all 4 parts! If you can't say "fuck!" at this what can you say it at?

@kennethdante so sorry to offend you with the use of a colloquial word that is associated with emphasis regarding a serious and grave problem. I think I would probably be using choice words if I were experiencing that manmade hellhole myself. The toxic garbage is a huge problem, but its so bad that your little feelings got hurt at a four letter word that has existed in our language for many centuries.

@kennethdante yeah I agree, dude's gotta tone down on the lingo, it distracts from the message. It's great he went out to do this documentary though.

Censor it yourself retard.

Gosh you musn't be much of a teacher. I'm guessing American, just by your pure stupidity

I get that 4 letter words are often used to create emphasis but, I also know that it is possible to do so simply by increasing your vocabulary. I have learned to speak with emphasis and not use such language myself. It is funny that you are promoting a clean earth but, have such a foul mouth. I have enjoyed this documentary but, I am thouroughly dissapointed that I can't use it as an educational tool due to the language.

plastic should just be banned already

[showmetexas]

Please shut down the FDA. Criminals!

"How far can you go from people and not have to like be wading through their sh*t"

Their? You mean "our" - we are all hypocrites and none of us are innocent. None of us. If you're using a computer to read this, you're a contributor to the need for plastic and other toxic trash that cannot and will not be recycled.
