according to: our world in data dot org (very much worth looking up!) 52% of the garbage patch comes from marine sources: fishing nets, lines, ropes, etc.
I like the idea but who is going to pay them? Someone would have to pay the fisherman to collect the trash and then pay more money to properly dispose or recycle it.
iamnotfernando: I’ve checked into this for months now and it appears to be largely a hoax. Though there definitely ARE problems with global refuse being swept up and deposited in the seas, there actually is NO singular mass of plastic several times bigger (various reports) than say - the state of Texas. That is why there are no photos from aerial positions. Additionally, much of the ocean’s trash (collectively) originates from Asia - China in particular - NOT America, Canada, greater Europe, etc. yet, the thrust of this is to TAX the rest of the world (much like carbon taxing) in order to provide “funding” to clean up these nonexistent continent sized floating islands of debris. Don’t be fooled - do your own research - do your own investigations. Go to school and GET AN EDUCATION!!!
It's okay guys I was just out there, it's only a few hundred bottles and some plastic forks stuck in a whirlpool. Edit: Whoops, I dropped a pack of 100 plastic straws overboard. They are now part of the garbage patch. They are pretty colorful though.
Terrible Tanner: 100 straws, a few hundred bottles and some plastic forks - the size of TEXAS?!!! How exactly is THAT done??? Must be REALLY spread out!!! (Were you able to count the forks???)
If you wonder why it looks so small or doesn't look too bad, it's because most of plastic garbage in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is broken into very small pieces from the sunlight, collision, friction, etc., and they are nearly invisible from aerial or satelite image. Though they are very small, microplastics are therefore very hard to filter and be cleaned. If I remember correctly, about 90% of all plastic garbage in the ocean are microplastics (though it depends on how you define a microplastic in terms of size). That's why we are finding more and more microplastics in bottled water, fish, other seafood and stuff. Fortunately, us humans (at least in the First World countries) have the technology to filter these plastics and unfiltered very small microplastics are not very poisnous (because we can't diget plastic they just pass through our digestive system and come out of your body when you take a dump!). But bigger plastic pieces that we wouldn't normally eat (like a broken piece of plastic fork or a plastic bag or a lighter for example) are eaten more and more by marine creatures and a considerable number of them die and suffer from these plastic garbages. And the number of plastic garbages is rapidly increasing so we should keep an eye on this. JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE IT, IT DOESN'T MEAN THIS IS A HOAX!
i disagree, if it's visible like that large, dark cluster seen in 0:37 (and looks like it stretches over the horizon) means you should be able to see clusters like that as a satellite image more evidence are broken ice clusters in the antarctic, if you can see big white ice clusters you should be able to see a brown muck of plastics in the ocean
Bullshit. There is no patch thats why there are no photos or videos. Im sure there is garbage in the ocean but not like they make it out to be. Its all about money just like the climate change hoax.
Ya I disagree as well. U can’t just blanket your claims with long worded excuses and say it’s the same thing. That’s what leftists do, stop it. Gross. Every single mainstream claim says “visible garbage patch the size of a country” and it’s a L.I.E. I’m sorry nobody believes you guys and you are not wrong either, but microplastics getting into marine life is a corresponding effect from the garbage patch, not the garbage patch itself. You need to stop talking with your emotions and start using your brain little girl
@Jim Ye So how hard it is to take photos from a boat then? I have still yet to see a picture or video of this alleged garbage patch as big as a country. Why are there plenty of photos of polluted rivers that you can clearly see the garbage. Yet for some reason this garbage patch is invisible. This video is not the garbage patch and I bet if you find wherever this video was taken all that garbage will be gone. This is not real. There is no garbage patch.
0:15. I never realized france, germany and spain were such tiny countries. And much, if not most, of what is shown around 45 to 50 seconds is not garbage or plastic, so the so-called patch is even less dense with garbage than one might like to imagine.
@@ub2bn you can't see if you have cancer either, so you'd rather wait till it shows and then do something about it? The reason is that they're microplastics that cant be easily seen. Do you know how vast the ocean is? A patch the size of Texas with microplastics on something like the ocean will still be barely visible. And if you look into it the patch isnt right next to a country. So saying "when I went swimming" is stupid unless you went to the middle of the pacific ocean to swim which I highly doubt. Look at a visualization of the amount of debris around our atmosphere. It's a lot. Yet you cant see the debris from here and still see a bright sky at night? Weird huh? If you're gonna make arguments at least make them logical and not so easily dismantled.
ill just explain why it mentioning 'great'. from sky footage, it may not look big. the reason is its the place where major 'microplastics' will accumulate at the patch. so, it is not hoax. it is a great area of 'microplastics' floating or sinking around the ocean patch. those drones or helis footage wont able see those microplastics around.
The Fat Punisher so true, it’s bad enough for concern there is definitely some fear monger going on imo. Where’s the footage of a patch 3x size of France? Off subject But any continual footage of going around the earth. Today’s tech Should have these things
yeah Iphones and cameras these days can record tons of things in High def and great quality. if there's a patch the size of france why doesn't this guy tilt his camera up and record it? It looks like a bunch of seaweed with a few sporks and plastic bottles mixed in.
Then why don't they get images of the bad parts of the patch at the time lmao. This piss poor photography is why nobody gives a shit about the environment dude.
@@TheFatPunisher why don't you go out there and photograph it since you are so good? You dumbass oh and watch this before you go th-cam.com/video/6HBtl4sHTqU/w-d-xo.html
We need to understand that life is extremely rare and as the most intelligent species of the planet, its our duty to protect every single living organism from a non-natural death. The best case scenario is we make space travel super cheaper and stop this by dumping the plastics on other inhabitable planets or moons. Otherwise a time may come when we will have to leave this planet and find another habitable one and the latter case of finding another habitable planet is very less probable than the dumping one.
Why aren't people viewing it?? Because it is NOT the GPGP - it is simply near short floating patch of seaweed polluted by lots of plastics/debris and has nothing to do with any Great Pacific garbage patch. If we want to direct attention to the pollution of our enviroment being done by developing nations, then we need to be truthful and factual in our reporting of these issues so those who fight it, will not have reason to doubt that we face problems. And that problem is NOT the west (so taking away our straws and forks in the US/Europe will do little to help). The problem is in Asia/India/Africa where there are no trash collection processes and people are just dumping it in the streets/which flows to the rivers/seas, etc. Wake up people to these less than serious scare mongers and demand they tell us the truth which is bad enough!! FACTS = www.statista.com/chart/12211/the-countries-polluting-the-oceans-the-most/ MORE FACTS = www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/06/90-of-plastic-polluting-our-oceans-comes-from-just-10-rivers/
The video footage comes from areas offshore Central America. Check out the garbage flowing out of rivers near Roatan Honduras and Guatemala you will see the footage comes from there.
It's not easy, definitely not cheap. Asking big ass cargo ships to do it requires money. And it being international waters. No country wants to invest so much in it. Cargo Ships need nearby stop areas too. These Garbage patch are quite far from an major port. Surely this can be recycled but no countries want to invest in the international environmental issues.
I still have not found any good footage of it. They claim it’s so big, but how come there’s no videos of how big it is? Just videos of little patches here and there
Fact check: “Despite the common public perception of the patch existing as giant islands of floating rubbish, its low density (4 particles per cubic meter) prevents detection by satellite imagery, or even by casual boaters or divers in the area. This is because the patch is a widely dispersed area consisting primarily of suspended "fingernail-sized or smaller bits of plastic", often microscopic, particles in the upper water column.”
Truth be told idc if yall dont think it's as big or as bad as they're saying it is. The point is that there shouldn't be any plastic in the ocean!!!!! At all period!!!
I keep searching for the photos or aerial view of the island 3 times the size of France!!!! I mean I don’t care if it’s the size of a beach ball it needs to be cleaned up but wtf I wanna see proof of as they say! Also I think the trash industry that you and we pay for is highly responsible for this atrocity, they must be cutting cost for disposal on their end by dumping it in ocean. Anyone ever question the car manufacturers where they are disposing of their residual moulding cast waste?

Other disciplines have to mix with the plastic soup approach. Like virologists. *** Is plastic waste from decades a potential breeding ground for viruses ? Should we resolve the problem at a faster rate? Sincerely, LUV YOU !

>Kristal hires people from jail >takes them on expensive boat to collect plastic >is thrown overboard by hired convicts >joins the garbage patch and observes as her ship sails into the garbageset
Why cant fishing trawlers be used to scoop up the debris. Pay the fishermen to do this as a side line job
Because you'd have to pay them..
they avoid fishing in garbage islands
