Bottled Water

Not so much the water but the plastic bottles it comes in. Global pollution is a serious issue that The Japanese take very seriously (we should in the US should also but for the most part do not).

The Pacific garbage patch, a vortex of plastic and other debris floating between California and Hawaii, thought to be the size of Texas if not bigger is one reason why there is a growing protest against bottled water.

The garbage patch is located about 1,000 miles off the coast of California and is estimated to be the size of Texas. Scientists believe it’s largely caused by trash that washes down storm drains and rivers from places like San Francisco and Japan, which is pulled together into one mass by ocean currents.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch - over 3.5 million tons of garbage in a plastic soup.

we should start shooting all that shit into outer space


Shirley: you jest !

This is horrible, but you can't export it off the Earth with any cost effectiveness !

Is it that bad for a Texas sized patch of ocean, or is that just a few square miles in the center of it ?

I've heard of it before and believe it, but I don't believe the debris are the the size of Texas and that thick , as shown in photos.

I don't know, I'm out !
