Following up on my previous post, Setting sail for the plastic vortex, which focuses on Project Kaisei researchers who are studying the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, I found that they have posted up some great new videos from their trip. I really hope that they get the funding need to continue this important research which will give us a better understanding of the consequences of making disposable goods out of permanent materials. One of my favorite quotes in the clip is the statement that you have to love it before you are moved to save it.
