You made the statement that you don’t think that it could be cleaned up. I have been putting some thought into this dilemma and I say “It can be cleaned up” its just going to take a lot of hard work but it can be done. Let’s talk, Louis Howell 4816 McMahon Blvd. NW #L-100 Albuquerque, NM 87114 (505) 292-9382 Goofy13007@aol.com Hi,

I was watching your video on YouTube about the Trash stuck in the Gyre.

You made the statement that you don’t think that it could be cleaned up.

I have been putting some thought into this dilemma and I say “It can be cleaned up” its just going to take a lot of hard work but it can be done.

I believe that the lack of coverage on the subject is one of the major problems. People dont and wont care unless something is put in their faces. Is there anything I can do.

I've written a little thing about the North Pacific Gyre at http://elizabethely.com/2010/03/22/plastic-garbage-for-the-albatross-dinner/ and have posted a slideshow video of albatross chicks who ate plastic debris. Bird after bird filled with plastic, all documented thanks to photographer Chris Jordan in September 2009 with his Midway - Message from the Gyre.
