A record-setting dive into the world's deepest and most mysterious underwater trench proves that even the most remote places on Earth aren't immune to plastic waste.

"Check out “Last Breath” just came out on Netflix. It gives a pretty good look at what Saturation divers do. Although usually not so dramatic."

Will do. Very cool indeed!

Is that why some don’t want plastic straws, I wonder?

I didn’t say anything about food/farming being a problem. Over population has many levels of problems.

I’m confident nature will make a forced reset of the world population one way or the other. It has to. Famine is only a problem where it has always been a problem; in arid climates with not enough access to water.

I didn’t buy into any leftist propaganda; I came up with these conclusions through research and common sense.

It won’t happen in the next 20-40 years but I believe this reset will happen if we keep over populating the planet.

Yes it is. I watched the video at the link where they supposedly found a fish in a plastic bag and the diver freed the fish from it. That had to be staged because a fish must have water flowing through its gills in order to live. There is no way that they could suddenly find a live fish trapped in a plastic bag. A dead fish maybe so, but even then it's highly unlikely.

And all of a sudden at the end of the video clip a huge banner advertised "WE PAY FOR VIDEOS!"

And they obviously paid for someone to stage that one too!

They’re still everywhere. Not all countries have given up glass bottles.

Yeah, I know about Mexican Coke in glass bottles, but I was picturing in my mind’s eye the 6 1/2 oz Coke bottles of my youth. Thick, light-green glass that will be around until the earth is swallowed by an expanding sun. The modern equivalent of potshards and maybe clay pipes. Imagine the thrill of a future archeologist who unearths a complete bottle.

It came through the Gulf. Look for a license plate.

“95% of the trash in the ocean comes from 5 rivers” And most of it is shoes, lots and lots of shoes. 4 out of 5 doctors agree!🙃

[Celtic Conservative]

I can see them now, proclaiming the shape of the bottle as an ancient fertility symbol!

I’m skeptical too, how would something like that not be crushed by the incredible pressure that must be at that depth?

[Rastus]

Phew! I was afraid they’d found Dexter’s victims!

[dfwgator]

I wonder if that’s where Jimmy Hoffa was located?

[dfwgator]

Hey! That looks like Obama's Birth Certificate?

#38 After subduction there is a chance that the spent fuel, being heavy metals, could migrate to the center of the core

Then KABOOM!! An Earth shattering KABOOM!!

[ChildOfThe60s]

But, the important takeaway is that there were no plastic straws!

[Gene Eric]

LOL... just noticed... made my day ;)
