Shocking images, if you thought that the Great Pacific was all nice and blue.... More PET then fish Synthetic Sea Starved birds on the shores, with stomacs filled with plastic garbage... More plastic particles then plankton Plastic continent We keep dumping stuff in the ocean, in space, under the ground etc, as long as we don't see it, it isn't there. But now we do see it and it's a horrible sight!

Yeah, it's a problem. Chris Jordan (photographer that I posted about in the Arts board) made a piece to show that: But it's not only plastic in the ocean... Humans tend to consider any area that they don't live in or associate to their immediate survival as a potential dump for their trash, which also includes metals, industrial waste, toxic chemicals, radioactive material... In the sea, the rivers, underground, eventually in space. As long as the priorities will remain economic we'll be stuck with this kind of issues.

I find the video's rather shocking to be honest. I had no idea it was that bad. But I've seen images of waste in space as well and at this rate, we wont be able to live in this planet anymore. I guess what other planet we will find to pollute

Yeah... Except that they call that to 'exploit'.
