dailygalaxy.com — The UN Environment Program estimates that there are 46,000 pieces of plastic litter in every square mile of ocean. In fact, a swirling vortex of trash twice the size of Texas has spawned in the North Pacific, known as the North Pacific Gyre, due to a clockwise trade wind that encircles the Pacific Rim.

"The journal Science last year predicted seafood stocks would collapse by 2048 if overfishing and pollution continued.", 40 years is soon. i'm really puzzled how some people here consider this as unsignificant!

Except that fish are alive and run away when they see you coming and garbage just sits there. If it's just floating around get up in the air and take pictures of it. We have also all seen huge swarms of fish from helicopters etc. Not even the same thing. Terrible analogy...

Sweet! I shall plant a flag and call my new nation: Trashylvania. In the capital city of Garbagia I shall build a temple to all the worlds litterers who have made my new homeland a growing property. There shall be no taxes. Free fishing. And all the plastic wrap you could want.

That should have been what they said about the WMD's that supposedly brought us into this war.
