Oceans are like plastic soup: Pacific Gyre studies

A crew of scientists sail out to the Pacific Gyre to study the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" where plastic outnumbers plankton 6 to 1. This video starring the scientist who first discovered the plastic soup in the Gyre shows why we should always bring our own ChicoBag instead of using plastic.


Every piece of plastic ever made still exists.

"A one-liter bottle will break down into enough fragments to put one on every square mile of beach in the entire world."
