Garbage Island - Part 1
I’ve mentioned the North Pacific Gyre before. It’s a vast floating sea of man made garbage, mostly plastics, about the size of Texas. Here’s a map of it
The following documentary from VBSTV follows a crew as the sail out to the gyre and spend a week there collecting samples of the debris. It is in 13 parts and I’ll publish one part per day. I’d say enjoy but you’ll more likely be disgusted.

I think all we have to do is find a way to demonstrate ANY kind of VALUE of this crap and SOMEONE will immediately rush out to claim it. Hopefully they’ll also find a way to gather it up and get rid of it or somehow recycle it. Jesus… what a mess.
