THE GREAT PACIFIC GARBAGE PATCH
It seems to have coincided with the use of plastic. Cheap to obtain, which brought down the prices of things, but those things are not able to be fixed, when broken, as it is just cheaper to get another one, and plastic in weak when fixed, unlike metal. Unfortunately we were all a bit entranced with being able to have all this stuff, and now its all ended up in the ocean, not able to break down Probably too late to ban plastics, so how could we use them instead when they are done performing their primary role. I know some companies are including them into roads, and materials for house etc. Wonder what new innovation will deal with this? or do we care enough, because its not oil? Maybe if we could run cars on it, it may become an important issue for governments.
