Charles Moore: Sailing the Great Pacific Garbage Patch
Capt. Charles Moore of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation first discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch -- an endless floating waste of plastic trash. Now he's drawing attention to the growing, choking problem of plastic debris in our seas.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
Plastic trash has made its way to the Pacific Ocean and its collected in massive amounts out in the middle of a 10 million square mile area known as the Pacific Gyre (pronounced GIRE) which is also known as "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch". The Gyre is a large clockwise spinning vortex that basically sucks everything into itself and because plastic is not biodegradable and cannot be broken down naturally it will just continue to circle the Gyre for decades maybe even centuries. This plastic soup is wreaking unimaginable havoc on the area's ecosystems. More than 1 million sea birds die from ingesting the plastic thinking that it's food. Turtles are choking on plastic shopping bags, which look amazingly like jelly fish, the main prey of turtles. The answer to stopping this madness is to STOP USING SO MUCH FUCKIN' PLASTIC. And for the plastic that you do use, try to recycle it or better yet, REUSE it!

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch stretches from the coast of California to Japan, and it's estimated to be twice the size of Texas. Years of bottles, bags, toys, packaging and plastic trash from all corners of the Earth are swirling in a plastic whirlpool in the North Pacific. Discarded water bottles from Iowa, takeout containers from New York City, flip-flops from California and plastic debris from the world over make their way from land into storm drains, streams, rivers and other waterways. They are carried out sea, where they get trapped in swirling ocean currents - forming a giant, floating trash dump of an enormous proportion - no matter how you quantify it. It saddens me to have watched these videos and to find out "WE" have known about this for TEN YEARS and seem to be doing nothing! This Plastic Garbage Dump that is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean collecting all the plastic debris and litter from the world is getting bigger every year. It's now so big that it seems that it's too much for us to clean up, and scientists say that the ocean is cleansing itself little by little, evidenced by the plastics on our beaches, but if we continue to litter and not recycle our plastics it will only get worse.

Synthetic Sea ..... NEW version for 2010
Captain Charles Moore describes the marine debris research he has conducted on behalf of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation over the past 12 years. Current concerns include the ubiquitous presence of endocrine disrupting synthetics in the marine environment, with pollutant loads being transferred up the food chain to haunt fish, cetaceans and humans.

Great Pacific Garbage Patch - Song & Video - "Doldrums"
Buy the song "Doldrums" by Laurel Brauns here: itunes.apple.com Inspiration in unexpected places: The Great Eastern Garbage Patch I consider myself an obsessive environmentalist, but I've had a hard time in the past harnessing this passion into songs. They always come out too topical or forced. And then I read the story of Captain Charles Moore and his plight to raise awareness about a swirling gyre of plastic waste twice the size of Texas suspended in the Pacific Ocean. It sounds a little twisted, but I wanted to create something beautiful out of something so overwhelming and ugly. And so I wrote the song "Doldrums," which you can hear above and read the lyrics below. I have to thank both Susan Casey for her article, "Our Oceans Are Turning Into Plastic... Are We?" and photographer Ben Moon for the visual element that he added to Micah Wolf's song "One by One." I'd also like to thank David de Rothschild and the Plastiki expedition for their remarkable journey across the Pacific ocean in a catamaran made from 12500 plastic bottles. Not only was their adventure an incredible awareness raiser, but a testament to the strength of human ingenuity in the face of an overwhelming global dilemma. More about Captain Charles Moore: In the summer of 1997, Captain Charles Moore and the crew of the Alguita (a fifty-foot aluminum-hulled catamaran) sailed through an area that scientists now refer to as the "Eastern Garbage Patch," a swirling vortex of floating trash in the North Pacific <b>...</b>

A live action and cartoon combination. The song was written and performed by pupils of Tonyrefail comprehensive school as part of "The Envirovsion Song Quest". Tantrwm developed the film idea with young people from the school over a few afternoons then spent the next few weeks creating the cartoon and film. Hope you enjoy. If you want stuff like this made with your school then please get in touch with us. Thanks The Tantrwm Team

This is a video I made with my US Foriegn Relations class in Zoo Academy. We spent from the beginning of november to the last day of school before christmas break on this. It was very frustrating but very informative. Please watch with respect and take note on how we are treating our ocean these days.

Don'tcha just love video responses that don't make a lot of sense until you go and view the video they're attached to, LOL. A video response to AskMissChris's video at www.youtube.com BTW, there's no punch line or anything at the end of this video. (I just didn't want people waiting on one and then being disappointed so I thought I'd mention it). Music: "Circles And Squares" by Carla Holden Courtesy of YouTube's AudioSwap feature.
