The Cost of Bottled Water

[Ja'k Dawsiin]

there is a huge mass of plastics and junk brewing in the Pacific Ocean, in a relatively calm area halfway between Hawaii and California, a distance of 2500 miles. this huge 'island' of plastic junk, garbage, huge section of drift-net from fishing trawlers, other floating materials, has been collecting there for about some ten years or so, and getting much worse because of all the urban wreckage dragged out to sea after that hugely disastrous Japanese tsunami in 2011. scientists say about half of the loose floating plastic are plastic soda and water bottles. geez.
