See, pollution can have its benefits.

Pretty sure that the floating ocean of garbage is a big, fat lie.

LIFE ADAPTS

Those always predicting death and destruction of LIFE due to human activity ignore just how much the continued existence of LIFE is based on and due to LIFE’s ability to adapt. “Environmentalists” always underestimate that.

[dfwgator]

And if it’s true, that plastic is not degradable, well the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: The Earth Plus Plastic.

The Earth doesn’t share our prejudice towards plastic. Plastic came out of the Earth; the Earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the Earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us.

Could be the answer to our age-old philosophical question – Why are we here?

Plastic – A______s!

...floating ocean garbage is home to a surprising amount of life from the coasts

Declare it an "autonomous zone" and get the Antifa dirtbags from all along the west coast to go live there.

Then burn it.

[Jeff Vader]

life, uh, finds a way

[Frapster]

Life finds a way... the world reflecting the nature of the creator.

[Bonemaker]

“This floating ocean garbage is home to a surprising amount of life ....”

Manhattan and San Francisco.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Shock. Life finds a way, right libs?

Yes, the world is pretty adaptive. Accept it.

[rhinohunter]

some of the coastal species were reproducing on their makeshift, floating plastic homes.

So in other words they joined “The Great Pacific Garbage Patch Club”.

[Organic Panic]

Life finds a way. Go figure. And eventually, little corals or crustaceans or tubeworms will build on the plastics, which will accrete in to larger pieces, and eventually sink to the bottom of the ocean. And when that happens you can bet the environazis will be screaming “PROTECT THE GREAT PACIFIC GARBAGE PATCH!”

[Fido969]

Don’t hurt the garbage!

Save the “anemones to worms to little crustaceans.”

[marktwain]

90% of the ocean plastic comes from China and India.

[BitWielder1]

How long before the garbage patches get protection like coral reefs.
There are many life forms that don't like to float around by themselves, they need to attach themselves to something, they don't care what it is.

Floating Ocean Garbage. I thought this was about Ted Kennedy.

Everything is a parasite or a problem for Mother Nature. She was here before us and will be here long after us. She always, always wins. :)

It’s almost as if she were divinely designed! ;)
