There is so much plastic in the ocean that it’s now a patch twice as big as Texas!

A cool video showing the spread of the tsunami debris patch.


We have a Hello Kitty doormat from that which was a beach find in Hawaii.

We gotta stop our recyclers from selling our plastic garbage overseas for extra profit, we pay them to collect then they sell for profit.

China doesn't do that. Ever seen a Chinaman throw away money?

India is in the Indian Ocean. Is there an Indian Ocean "garbage patch"?

You dont need to know geography...but it helps.

Look really really close at the "garbage".

Most is busted up wood from the 2 tsunamis. They pay cash for plastic in China. Those people making money from tsunami debris will leave the wood and only pick up the plastic and metals for cash.

But don't be saying it's all from the tsunami, that's just nutty.

You've seen images like this in UNICEF commercials telling you they are scrounging for food. In reality they are collecting plastic to sell for cash.



The trucks heading to the recycling place to cash in. UNICEF never shows them.

Would we be throwing plastic away if we were paid by the pound like in Asia?
