The Great Pacific Garbage Patch


I have been watching videos of 'The Great ocean garbage patch' or also called the '7th continent' on YouTube  since its discovery in the Pacific which has doubled in the last 5-10 years , since then 4 more have been discovered including a second one in the Pacific.
Watch these short videos and pass it on to friends and family to make them aware as I realise that talking to my students and some of my peers NOone knew about it!!!! and we are in 2012 well just over 15 years after the discovery of this Vortex!!!! and noone knows about it?????
Am amazed that we are so blind to plastic which future is to never break down it actually break down in tiny little particles but will forever be on earth and never return to earth like paper can.

So why are we still making things out of Plastic 
What are we? 
What have we created?
What has the world become? 
What the world will be for future generations?
I am finding it hard to understand what we have as the human race become....

Watching this documentary is music to our ears and a total and absolute pleasure to watch. I highly recommend it for all young and older public. Below are some exerts of the commentary read by Pierce Brosnan. A little bit at a time new forms of life ripple the waters of the world, spreading and multiplying adapting and evolving Pollution runs out of rivers spilling (as can be seen by satellite) We have littered the oceans with hundreds of thousands of trash spilling poison around. Sculpture III 2013 Copper and Found Black Plastic Human 'objects' challenge each creature to find new place or new ways to survive. Human indifference is surely the Ocean greatest threat.

There it is the dismantling of a 3 weeks show and we are please and feel that the exhibition Regurgitate. It certainly allowed people to enter our realm of interest, in pausing, for a moment, their thoughts to things they may not have seen, thought of ... or were indifferent to All plastic items in the show were found on the beach Human indifference is the worse thing that can happen and in a way that is  where we have come to in this super fast world The oceans are polluted by our plastic and consumer waste that will never disappear .... until.....  we take responsibility in  create recycling plants through out the world but first thing first,  How about in Australia!!!
