http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/the-worlds-rubbish-dump-a-garbage-tip-that-stretches-from-hawaii-to-japan-778016.html Seems like it would have made the news or Discovery Channel or something. Maybe I have just missed it???
i think its real... my prof. who is a marine biologist says his colleagues encountered it on their way to a field study somewhere in the pacific.they were lost for words. Its quite sad that its everyone's problem but no one wants to clean that mess up cuzz of the expense and the resources required to do so.
sad but true. i watched a special on tv a while back that discussed this. currents keep all the trash in that area. the video that was show was disturbing
Found a couple of video's.. appears to be 2X the size of TX YouTube - Garbage Island YouTube - World biggest garbage dump - plastic in the Ocean
