It would take many "millions" of years before that toxic-Plastic will natural digest! We could setup company's for the compassion of humanity for developing intelligent "anti depletion technology" with all the best intentions for the world! It must be possible if there is any hope left?

Even if you would burn all the plastic in the world, everything will just end up into the bio-sphere and in the cycle of life, and if you would recycle plastic and make "things" out of it, you touch it, you breath it, the plastic comes into you! The plastic becomes you. The same Plastic that is very toxic! Just look up all the plastic garbage?

Human race is the worst evil that ever existed, anywhere in the universe and should be sterilized. Humans are a self centered, ugly and evil mutant human virus thats destroying the earth. If humans cared about anything they would have their trawlers out there right now, skimming up their poisonous crap. But they love murder, gluttony, and suicide and have proved they prefer that to life.

I believe that it is caused by a solar cycle. Hopefully pollution reduction will result from the governmental attention to climate change.

Let's do some math...
1 sq. mile = 27,878,400 sq. ft. / 46,000 = 606.1
So that's 1 "piece" of plastic (size undefined in video) for every 606.1 sq.ft. of ocean. About 1 piece in the size of a small apartment, right? So what? Furthermore, the claim is made that plastic to plankton ratio is 30:1. Do you really expect me to believe plankton only occurs at a rate of one every 18,182 sq. ft?! Ludicrous.

You should refer to the ocean in terms of cubic ft., The water the plankton live in has depth.

There's a mist of plastic in the ocean. There's tiny pieces of broken down plastic floating way under the surface, yeah that means cubic feet.. and depth, moron. In samples of fish and there was over sixty pieces of plastic in the fish. Birds die from eating lighters. You're a selfish turd that should be forced to eat that plastic fish and then all that plastic.
