TERRIFIED? YOU SHOULD BE.. Around 1998 Algalita conducted an oceanic survey of the Great Pacific Garbage region of the Pacific Ocean and discovered that the ratio of plastic to plankton was 6:1.. Another survey in 2008, only 10 years later, found the ration had increased to 45:1.. 45X MORE PLASTIC THAN PLANKTON.. The plastic fragments concentrate Polychlorinated Biphenols (PCBs) and other organic toxins up to a MILLION TIMES compared to the surrounding seawater.. Sealife all up the foodchain consumes the plastic which is mistaken for genuine food.. Toxins concentrate by orders of magnitude UP the foodchain.. Why do most of us simply go about our trivial lives as if nothing is wrong? youtube/watch?v=pEKohTXF4Xw
