WHAT/WHERE
Come aboard as the VBS crew takes a cruise to the Northern Gyre in the Pacific Ocean, a spot where currents spin and cycle, churning up tons of plastic into a giant pool of chemical soup.
NETWORK CONNECTION
The garbage gyre has gotten ample treatment at Matador Change with The World’s Most Offensive Landfills and Chris Jordan Gets Ready to Visit the Pacific Garbage Patch. The enormity of the environmental damage that the gyre points to has many asking if we should ban plastic. BNT exposes The Inconvenient Truth About Green Travel and Change also asks if travel writers should care about their environmental impact, an issue that can no longer be ignored.

Unbelievable. The video is well done, and the subject matter is appalling. What can we do about this atrocity?

This is awesome except for one thing. The Language used. I teach middle school environmental science and would love to be able to share with my students but can not due to F word being used. : (

Great site here. Lots of blogs like this cover subjects that can’t be found in magazines and newspapers. I don’t know how we got by 12 years ago with just newspapers and magazines.
