The Great Pacific Garbage Patch - Good Morning America

Even if we stopped manufacturing plastics tomorrow, the amount of it we've dumped on the world is still staggering. It's a part of our every day life, you can't get away from it. Plastics will be around for thousands of years even if no more was made. I'm reading The World Without Us right now for my Environmental Science studies, it's a really good book that I think everyone should read. Check it out. It talks about the whole plastic problem and junk..

try to see how long you can go without purchasing any items with plastic...bet you wont last a week.

not even a day

HOLLLLY HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...... ..

What the F@@@@@@@@ck we are doing?

Now WHAAAAAAAAAT? How to change our behavior? OK....I hv an Idea....Stop manufacturing plastics. Lets find out all the huge plastic manufacturers and fight against them. No, no....tats not right....if we stop using plastic then they will stop producing plastic, but, we won't stop. mmm......errrr.......puffffff. 

Isn't it disgusting how far we have come in technology but we keep doing this mess. Shows how lazy an selfish we are. An under the thumbs of the powers that be. We try to stop the plastic companies we will have the same fight on our hands that we do on cap an trade an health reform. I read someone's comment on another vid like this an he said Fuck you I'm an American in a free country I can do what I want. That is the mentality we are up against. Crazy isn't it

this is huge,we should stop trowing garbage in to the oceans and the streets... i mean if we all start by not littering it could make a big difference

humans are fucking disgusting

looks like intentional dumping.

but ive been in the ocean and i didnt see any plastic

Apparently this works for all types of plastics, it just requires a lot of energy making it expensive. Provided that it does work for all types of plastics, and that sufficient energy can be generated from these machines that harness wave energy (which I've heard that some of these work pretty well), this can work for relatively cheap dispite, maybe, the initial cost. In the end its just an idea. We need to leave it to people who can profit off it instead of requiring govts to spend billions
