Watch Captain Charles Moore (of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation) talk at TED about plastics and other marine debris in the ocean. Warning: although this might be very depressing, it cannot be ignored. It must be a call to action!

Is it crazy to sail across the entire Pacific Ocean on a boat made of plastic bottles? Well, David de Rothschild (a wealthy heir to a banking fortune, an author, and an explorer) is going to do it anyway when he sets off from San Francisco in March 2009 en route to Sydney, Australia.
Marine Debris
Published in
The ocean currents and atmospheric winds have carried garbage around the world with certain areas receiving the worst of it. The “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” in the northern Pacific has millions of pieces of floating trash spread out over an area the size of Texas. The science lesson “NAME HERE” addresses how these processes work while this lesson discusses the impact that this trash has on living organisms, organizations (such as NOAA) who are working to fix this problem, efforts in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands, and things that individuals can do to help.
