The Problem

Right now there is a huge amount of floating plastic garbage that could be twice the size of the United States by some estimates. Some say it may be twice the size of Texas. No one knows for shure how big it really is. But it has been named the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and it is poisoning the ocean and its animals. While only a small amount of research has been conducted to date, it is very clear that this plastic garbage will never go away. It will never dissolve, it will never dissipate. It will only continue to grow larger until a human being, or a community of humans clean it up. Who will do it?

Plan of Action

The consequences of our plastic culture are not obvious to most people. If we learned what we are doing to the planet we could make informed decisions and alter our behavior before it is too late. This website is dedicated to bringing awareness to people everywhere and urging them to take action. It is the only way to prevent the problem from getting worse.
