the problem is - where do you put it and who takes on that burden?

  While ocean pollution is a problem, a big one, the article above says '103 tonnes' of garbage was hauled up. And this, over 48 days, and a large section of sea?! That's literally nothing. How much garbage do you think a small city collects from residents daily? Google shows variety here, but that garbage trucks can handle between 10 to 20 tonnes per load. Again, not saying it's good. There's clearly a lot more down there. But I dislike stats/info in articles which seems like a lot (eg tonnes, They dredged up tonnes!! Over a large, massive section of sea, over more than a month.). Worse, they talk as if they actually did something: we are continuing to help restore the health of our ocean, which influences our own health and the health of the planet. No, they're doing nothing. It's like I walked to a garbage dump, picked up a can, then took it home and recycled it. "I created a cleaner world!", uh, yeah, sure.. good job? It's just a meaningless tiny bit of nothing.
