The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

I’m not a tree hugging hippie or much of an environmentalist at all, but I’m also not stupid. This is genuinely scary, a Texas sized garbage heap floating in the Pacific Ocean. Doing my completely random web surfing today, I stumbled across an article about “The Great Pacific Garbage Patch” and it really scared me. I’m not sure I can add anything new to what has already been written about it but I think more people need to know and something needs to be done now.
