Buy me a boat and I'll sail around and pick it all up. Something modest like this would get me started.

Whatever it is we know it is caused by man and government must fix it.

Oh and I’d need crew to help me. A couple cute blondes would probably be needed.

Not to mention of course all the “stop plastic pollution (PP) now!” t-shirts to be printed. Then of course an inevitable controversey will erupt when it’s discovered that millions of such t-shirts and bumper stickers and posters were printed with ink based in part on petroleum products (gasp: plastics!)

Then a House Investigstion committee will be called to look into the practice (because everyone knows they don’t have more important things to do, than protecting the world’s oceans), eventually “discovering” (ie claiming but never verifying) some TEA party backed candidate has a connection to said scandal, who will then quietly be “audited” by the IRS.

When a Democratic link is also discovered, despite the best efforts of the Democrats on the committee (and their RINO lackeys) promises to “get to the bottom of this” will breathlessly be repeated until the next fundraising concert, all proceeds to benefit the Stop PP Now organization. (SPPN) An organization which the IRS fast-tracked to non-profit status coincidently enough. (but some “loony” FReepers claim has been used as a front to rig elections in Democrat’s favor).

And that, is the rest of the story.

Almost all active environmentalists know about the giant ocean garbage patch that is twice the size of Texas; just floating around out there.

The trouble is that no one can find it. It doesn't show up on Google Earth and no cruise ships, naval vessels or cargo ships have run into it. But, like global warming, they swear by it and will call you names if you ask for proof.

“[T]he abundance of floating plastic fragments allows many small organisms to sail on them and colonize places they could not access previously,” says Andres Cosar, a researcher with the project.

Been going on for thousands of years. I worry about the abundance of big organisms colonizing our shores from down south. They're focusing on the wrong problems.

My liberal, loves O, plastic bag hating friend says plastic bags are destroying the ocean, and should be banned. I told her since we are 300+ miles from the ocean, I didnn't think my plastic bags were causing a problem.

She replied in an earnest voice, "I'm not sure if they are getting carried downstream in the river, or if they're picked up by the wind, but your bags are definitely getting into the ocean."

For those of you who plan on coming back one hundred thousand years from now, expect a little bit more bounce in your sandstone.

The same jerks who took our paper bags?

The same jerks who then said plastic bags are great?

The same jerks who then said plastic bags are evil and we should all use renewable green dolphin safe ozone friendly carbon neutral paper bags?

plastic pollution is far more widespread

This is a problem and the problem is growing.

People ignore news like this because of government's effort to promote the hoax of manmade global climate change. Real pollution is ignored.

Man has the technology, if not the motivation, to diminish pollution. However, as long as people can be convinced of nonsense like CO2 is a pollutant nothing will be done.

This film should be seen by the entire world

Maybe they could hire Dan Kilmer to go scoop it all up. I understand he’s looking for a job ...
