When I saw this I could not belive my eyes, there is no way that we have ignored this and let it accumulate to this grandeur. I did a google image search on the Great Pacific Garpatch to get a visual, I could not beleive what I was seeing. If people still won't believe that humans as a race are effecting our ecosystem then they need to see the new continete made of plastic that is forming in the Pacific Gyre. It is massive and there is no way we can say that our waste has not caused this land mass. We as a race need to wake up and smell the coffee we are destroying our home and the home of our children and grandchildren. What are you going to say to them when they asked you if you did your part to help save our planet. I would love any information on the organization that is trying stop this from getting any worse.

It's ironic that you posted this just over 30days ago, as I just ran across my first articles last night (April 8th 2008) regarding the 'Garbage Patch'. As the type of person who usually seeks out unusual and sometimes 'trivial' facts, I was totally floored that something this huge (both literally and figuratively) has been under the radar for so long. In my opinion, this is every bit as large a problem as global warming, and yet I have never even heard of this in passing until I ran across it in wikipedia after typing a search for 'largest manmade object'. How is this possible? How is it possible that something of this magnitude has gone largely unreported for so long? I agree that it is totally unacceptable. I am very interested in providing whatever help I can to your website as well as the overall cause of not only stopping the ongoing pollution, but of cleaning up this disgraceful mess. I look forward to hearing from you. -Michael Hi.
