 hudgal1 says: This is absolutely unbelievable. If you're never drive across To put this in perspective, Texas, the second larges state in the union, includes roughly 267,339 sq. mi, or 7.4% of the nation's total area. And our mommies can't clean up after us this time. I wonder if, at some point in our future, oil will be expensive enough to harvest this patch for recycling. Anyone else see that 60 minutes segment on certain a cruise line caught dumping trash into the ocean in the wee hours of the morning? Wonder how much of this debris is from vessels on the ocean? Saw an image of a turtle shell so deformed by plastic debris pop bottle ring. The center of the shell was like a figure eight, from the constriction. Poor creatures. We should not leave such devastation in our wake.  Appalling. Why can't they clean it up? Too big? I don't quite understand. Imagine all the sea birds and creatures that must be losing their lives in this tangled floating hell. Atrocious. There is no question. If it isn't cleaned up, it will clean us up. I have often wondered if we would get to the point where we would be mining garbage, to get plastic, when the raw product was running out. Seems Like a process of 'accretion' - a term used to describe the formation of the planets from dust. As it goes on garbage it encounters becomes caught in the morass. There is a small compensation, in that it's size means it can no longer be ignored. If it was evenly distributed it would no doubt cause as much damage, but would be much easier to ignore. There is the old principle, that if a problem seems too big, it can be broken up. If it isn't dealt with, the Ocean could become a place... "GIANT gabage patch floating in Pacific"Is "gabage" the Boston pronunciation? NASTY AND FILTHY NASTIES......WHOOSH! THIS IS SICK eweweweweweweweweweweweweweweweweweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweweweweweweweweweweweweweweweeewwwweewwweeeewwwwwwwewweeeewwwwwwewewewewew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And our mommies can't clean up after us this time.yep right ;-( 10x hudgal1 4 this important clip. we become too familiar with the issue of `the dirt we produce` as a society, as environmental issues got more & more space in news daily headlines, yet this info place some new threshold ! i hope size does matter ! -) Size matters? This is a story made up for people who'll believe anything. You've been suckered. Uhhh Whoolie, Phys.org. is a reliable science website. It's not the National Enquirer. It won't be long before people will be able to walk from California to Hawaii. They could even decide it is 'Real Estate.' "The Venice of the U.S." Gullible much ? I'm not sure to whom you were addressing that comment, but let me ask you this: what do YOU think happens to all those millions (probably billions) of plastic sacks from the grocery store that people get every day? |
