For a long time we heard about the evils of six-pack rings, trapping and killing sea creatures. Then it moved on to plastic in general. And now news sources are reporting about microscopic plastic particles breaking down and entering the food chain  where they wreak havoc. Still, one of the most disturbing and under-reported stories of plastic is the North Pacific Gyre Garbage Patch. The Garbage Patch is a swath of plastic and debris the size of Texas in the North Pacific. It is bad - kills sea life, enters the food chain, bio-accumulates, we eat it. Mmm plastic toxins.
