Toxic Garbage Island
I felt very disturbed while watching this movie. This movie was based on a bunch of currents that pushed all of the garbage that lingered in the Pacific Ocean into a huge pile named The Eastern Garbage Patch, which is located a couple of hundred of miles off of Hawaii. Watching this movie makes me wonder how the hell did all of this garbage end up right off of Hawaii? It makes me think of grateful I am to live in this beautiful place and we are slowly killing the Earth by doing horrific things like polluting. I feel like we are setting up our children and our future for disaster, by not taking care of our environment.

Your statements on the "Eastern Garbage Patch" are really strong and it speaks to me. I remember back in high school in my biology class, I had to do research on the Garbage Patch and I had questions similar to yours. I kept wondering why and how we could have let this happened? and if it would spread and grow as the years went on. I agree with your posting. Keep up the good work.

Your definately right, we need to be more considerate towards the ocean. If people keep being careless and polluting our ocean, our children won't have the chance to experience anything, like fishing and diving. Not only does it effect people, but also sea life. All this garbage and pollution kills the ocean's sea life. Hopefully more people will open their eyes and see the horrible things happening to the ocean.
I agree that this is really disturbing stuff. The good news is that just reducing the amount of plastic you use and recycling what plastic (and other items) you do use, you can make a difference. Also, pass it on!
