finkel101: there are myriad uses for plastic. turn plastic and organic waste into firewood and clothes. it is well known that some types of firewood are made of organic waste recycled. now you can make clothes out of plastic. just look up "earth-tec." you can make organic waste into paper, too for school children. turn plastic into cars or containers for shipping, and sell them to shipping companies so they don't cut down more trees.

amatthew: I think it's a great story - I believe the part on the boat is extremely relevant because it shows how thoroughly believable it all is and now makes tremendous sense. More reporting needs to be done in this fashion if people were willing to turn the tube off for a few minutes to watch it. Ugggh TV and Plastics... One IMPORTANT comment though.... Thomas - why did you think it was necessary to use the F word every few minutes - this is what breaks down the credibility of the journalism. Now the 3 EFFIN weeks you spent on the boat to tell this incredible story can't be forwarded to most of my friends and colleagues - I would love to share with mom - Nope - she'll just comment on the language. There is an environmental group at my church... uhhh... I'll hesitate before sending this to them . WHAT AN EFFIN WASTE thomas... grow up and learn some new vocabulary, eh?

greenj2: Some interesting info on a genuinely disturbing topic, but as a documentary this sucks, badly. There's about 20 minutes of solid, relevant information here and the rest is just a boring, blathering, self indulgent travel log. A harsh re-edit, focusing only on footage/narration directly related to the topic at hand would be a great idea. Your story is in the ocean, not on the boat. Also, 'Sigsays' is 100% correct. XD

Sigssays: Jeez. This is like Titanic - an arduous 3-hour wait, longing for a large island/iceberg to turn up and kill the basterds! Painful. And that little Thomas specky wanker trying to be all Vice and cool and swearing like a grown up - "I've seen many things" he said when the cute blonde lassy asked him if the beautiful sunset was worth getting out of his wank-pit for. Hard as fucking piss he is.

RaySwore: @VowelOwl1 - How does a plastic bag from the subway trash can end up in the Pacific Ocean? It gets caught by the wind at some point and blown until it reaches the sea.. or, it ends up on the ground and washed into a sewer by rainwater, where it ends up feeding into a creek, a river, then the ocean.

RaySwore: Scopolamine to fend off sea sickness... what the fuck. God that is unnerving. That sounds as dangerous and odd as taking PCP for rickets or heroin for tennis elbow.
