SPLIT END

Garbage Island

I give VBS TV a lot of credit for creating this piece. The crew went to the Northern Gyre in the Pacific Ocean, a spot where currents spin and cycle, churning up tons of plastic into a giant pool of chemical soup, flecked with bits and whole chunks of refuse that cannot biodegrade.

Disheartening and absurd. I feel so small when I see video like this because there’s only so many ways for me to help. I would love to see #2 or #3 of Garbage Island to focus on how a citizen can help and change things on a broader scale.
