I want to see pictures of the ocean. How is there that much trash 2000 miles from civilization?!

Look, if you guys can't appreciate just how delicious whiffle balls and plastic hair curlers are, then I just don't know what to tell you.

It's not just that (though the Pacific Garbage Patch is terrifying), it's also the parent birds picking up either fish, garbage, or fish with garbage in their digestive systems and bringing it back to the nest, since most of these are albatross chicks. Depressing shit.

With all due respect to the reality of the situation as put forth by that blogger, I'd prefer people to blow something like a MASS OF TRASH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN out of proportion.

Those pics remind me of some of the "art" I've seen at MOMA.

I hate throwing the baby out with the bath water shit like this.
