The idea that anyone can go out there and "clear it up" is really wrong, and that's why this sort of project is so unhelpful. This is the pacific ocean - it takes up about a third of the world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pacific_Ocean_-_en.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pacific_Ocean_-_en.png When I visited the very remote pacific ocean, there was plastic everywhere. On remote islands, every ten feet were plastic bottles and garbage, in the water - everywhere. The idea that any number of dedicated garbage collection ships, given all the resources in the world, could clear this up, is just completely ridiculous. >>> It won't clear itself up And neither will we - it's impossible, and distracts from the real task at hand which is to stop the flow, stop the creation of it. To solve the problem we must relentlessly point the spotlight back on the companies that are creating this endless flow of garbage.
