PLASTIC SOUP




The studies describe a soup of micro-particles similar to the so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch

The debris is harmful for fish, sea mammals — and at the top of the food chain, potentially humans — even though much of the plastic has broken into such tiny pieces they are nearly invisible.

Since there is no realistic way of cleaning the oceans, advocates say the key is to
bend over and kiss your ass good bye.

Woods Hole found an offshore patch equivalent to the area between roughly Cuba and Washington, D.C. Unfortunately is not confined to a single patch,"
