The Garbage Patch

It's not your fault. BUT, STOP buying anything with plastic. It just creates an unhealthy mess on land as well.
Go see "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and wonder if we will get past the "brink."

I use plastic bags and bottles. I never recycle. but this is not my fault because I dont live anywhere near the ocean.

why does it have to cost money?
why can't they just do it for free.
or would the govt rather have people pay to keep LIVING.
sucky.

you're an idiot.
go strangle yourself.

Ya know, I consider myself to be a wildlife conservationist of sorts. I even majored in biology with a concentration in ecology. However, I can't help but think this "problem" is vastly overstated given the fact that the claim is the "Pacific garbage patch is 2x the size of texas", yet there are no pictures/satellite imagery detailing this. I'd chalk it up as more ultra-crazy environmentalist propaganda based on a shred of truth.

You can't see tiny pieces of plastic with satellite imagery... If you don't think pollution of the ocean is a big deal you need to have your head examined.

Wotch!!
Thats alot of garbage..
Holy cahony!

Plastic shouldnt be there anyway. Its containng a lot of toxic substances.

"every peice of plastic we've ever made is still on the planet".. Then what will not throwing it out do? They need to stop making the shit. If it doesn't end up in the ocen, it'll be on land and just mess up the earth in a different way.
