THE GREAT PACIFIC GARBAGE PATCH
,----[ Quote ]
| Global warming is not the only threat that marine organisms face. In the
| North-East Pacific a vortex of plastic rubbish is taking over the ocean,
| swamping marine ecosystems and ultimately posing a danger to human life.
| Known formally as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch or the Eastern Garbage
| Patch, the phenomena arises because circulating currents of the sub-tropical
| gyre naturally tend to agglomerate floating materials in this region.
| Historically, floating debris was broken down by microorganisms, but now a
| new class of materials has upset this balance – in a word, plastic. Unlike
| naturally occurring compounds, plastic does not photo-degrade, it simply
| breaks up into ever-smaller pieces and lingers in the environment as an
| invisible toxic dust.

| ...the Gates Foundation took down their public statement on this

| say that investing responsibly would just be too complex for them

| dozens of factors that could be considered, almost all of which
