Throw-away culture has created the Great Pacific Garbage Patch
Capt. Charles Moore of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation first discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch -- an endless floating waste of plastic trash. Now he's drawing attention to the growing, choking problem of plastic debris in our seas.
Algalita Marine Research Foundation (AMRF) is a Long Beach, California-based non-profit marine research and education organization dedicated to the protection of the marine environment and its watersheds through research, education, and restoration. They have many videos in their Synthetic Seas Series - http://www.algalita.o...

And that was with me taking enough food for a community of 20, and another girl taking extra for a food pantry. What a delicious shame... ”
