TOXIC — Garbage Island
2008 June 10
I read about this awhile ago and just found a documentary on it today. As soon as I read about it in a magazine awhile ago I tried to google it, but did not find much information or pictures. This is definitely something I would recommend taking a look at.
ABOUT GARBAGE ISLAND
For years we’ve been reading about a patch of garbage the size of Texas floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, ingeniously dubbed the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Basically, any trash that gets dumped in the water rides the currents to this one spot and joins an ever-increasing flotilla of crap. For all the breathless accounts of the mess and its impact on the area’s sealife, however, no one seemed to have a picture of the buildup.
