I originally posted this video over a year ago. It is worth posting again.Charles Moore and Dirty Talk about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch! Everyone should be required to watch this video. It will change the way you think about plastic and our “throw away” society. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

Wow! Thanks Randy, you're the best. I love being informed by this site.
You are right Randy! Thanks so much for educating the campus community.
I will NEVER buy bottled water again. We are destroying our planet. One plastic bottle at a time.
Depressing and inspiring. I will re-think reduce, reuse and recycle!
Everyone should watch this video! Sooooo eye opening.
This picture and others like it have changed the way I live forever. No more plastic bags in my house; only cloth bags for shopping.
Thanks for posting this picture; it really says more than words could ever do.
Thanks, Randy for providing this video. These images say it all.
yikes! thats very disturbing :(
we're going to turn into a wall-e world if we keep this up! :/
It hurts to see these images and know what our world has become. Thank You for shining a light on the campus community!
Sad!
I just watched the video. We all should know better!
Sustainable education! Thank you Green Team for developing this blog!
The most disturbing part was the children swimming in the trash filled water! I will think about this video everytime I throw something away to make sure I am recycyling.
The earlier post is right...everyone should watch this video and others like it to appreciate the consequences of our actions (or inactions). It is no longer sufficient to just ask "What can I afford to buy?" but we should also question "What can the ENVIRONMENT afford for me to buy?" Thanks for spreading the word even when it's hard to listen to. The second step to solving a problem is getting everybody on board!
