Chris Jordan's photographic work plays with a degree of scales. This piece Gyre depicts 2.4 million pieces of plastic, equal to the estimated number of pounds of plastic pollution that enter the world's oceans every hour. All of the plastic in this image was collected from the Pacific Ocean. Let's zoom in. Let's zoom even further.



We need to do something. How can we stop using plastics like this? Also, by picking up bread tabs you will help the ocean. If you want you can send them to me.
Thank you! email me and i will give you the address.

GOOD -n- trashy.

This is not new news but its good to keep it in mind. GOOD magazine had one of their Transparency's on it recently. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a major problem for the world yet just recently (2008) has been physically addressed. Richard Owen is a building contractor and scuba dive instructor who formed the Environmental Cleanup Coalition to address the issue of the pollution of the North Pacific. The ECC plan calls for modifying a fleet of ships to clear the area of debris and form a restoration and recycling laboratory called Gyre Island. The ECC is a non-profit, NON-GOVERNMENTAL agency.
