So this our our Global Backyard? Too late for my generation as greed is the way of life.However, I hope the generations to come will do something about these atrocities.It was difficult to view these images. We humans are a waste of space when this happens in our world today.

@ALL THE COMPLAINERS: If your not doing anything to change it, then shut up.
@THE ANTI COMPLAINERS: Your just as bad, if your not doing something, then shut up.
If you are doing something, report it so others can get involved.
GENERAL: I am an AMERICAN and love the earth more than the IDIOTS in it. I Have seen the world, like unto that china smog picture, and worse in visions and dreams. Anything not good for the enviroment should be, without question, annihilated, including.... More

I have heard that the plastic eventually breaks down into smaller pieces and is eaten by a sequence of different size fish until the contaminants make their way up the food chain to humans. I am concerned about my health and the health of the sea life and birds along the way.
Posted By Horton - Mon, Dec 28 2009 at 2:08 PM ESTI got an idea...
Build a raft from all the Pacific floating debris, erect a Walmart, a K-Mart, a Piggly-Wiggly, an amusement park, a mega-church, a NASCAR track, a housing project, and a trailer park, and make everyone who refuses to recycle, take public transportation, or drive a fuel efficient car live there!

You want to know why? It will cost money. Who will benefit? Certainly all of us on the planet, but no one will clean it up because there is too little benefit to society as a whole. There are more important things to clean up, places where humans actually live.

Your list is entitled 'The 15 Most Toxic Places to Live' - Who lives in the middle of the Pacific - and I'm not talking about an island, this is in the middle of the ocean. We are land creatures.
Posted By Paige - Mon, Dec 07 2009 at 10:54 AM ESTJust a thought
Ya maybe we are land creatures, but don't you think this crap will wash up on shore? Ya maybe i think so. This waste is twice the size of texas, our biggest state in the U.S. It's bound to wind up coming on to our land, or the others. and this will maybe kinda sorta tant the water that goes into our body? Ya i think so, and the animals live there, so its still considered home to others, we also need to look out for them to. So stop PMSING and look at the problem, just because you live on land.... More

here you go you eco-nuts, go clean this up you know where it is. you can recycle all that plastic. dont just talk about do something to fix it.
Posted By mt man dave - Fri, Oct 23 2009 at 3:02 PM ESTyou make it pretty hard
it's hard to clean something up when people like you keep adding to it faster than it can be dealt with. if we still have a planet in 20 years, it will be because people like you don't reproduce and propagate generations of ignorance.

It is not someone else's job to fix
it is OUR job, starting now! What do you mean "too late for your generation"? Are you dead? To complain and pass the problem to others is not being responsible!! It is CRITICAL that each of us take action NOW!!!! We must think differently, buy differently and ask if not then why.... for example, ask Costco why they must overpackage so many items....ask the yogurt companies why they must package in nonrecyclable plastic, etc; the smallest actions can change EVERYTHING!!! That is the only.... More
