I chose to respond on "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch". I'm very shocked at what I've seen and read. I had absolutely no idea this was happening out their. I'm upset that I was not aware of this before. I believe there are millions of people in the world that has not been educated about this also. There needs to be more education on it. I have started at home by showing my children what's happening with all the junk, and what it's doing to our earth. What hit the children the most was the fact that it is so close to Hawaii.
I don't understand why the scientist are saying it's to late for cleaning. There has got to be something we can do. Take an oil tanker out there and suck everything up until we figure out a solution. Eliminate the use of plastics completely. We need to figure out how to use all these bad things for our benefit, for our good on this earth. It will take over our earth someday.

It is shocking that this issue isn't a bigger subject. I lived here in the middle of the ocean for 18 years and haven't heard of this once! It's pretty sad. But the oil tanker sucking up all the trash wouldn't make an impact because there is just too much trash that it take years to clean up. We need to stop it at the source first, stop people from littering first then move, on from there.
I had no idea this was happening too! I absolutely agree that we should have more knowledge about this issue. Teaching our younger generations, i think, is a great way to reduce pollution. If our younger generations know about this, I believe they will want to do something about it.
Even though you weren't educated about "The Patch", I liked how you educated your children about it. Sharing with them what is happening out there because the change has to start somewhere and the home is a good place to start.
I like how you show your kids of the situation. The people of this world should know about this situation. I also believe that the majority of the people in this world doesn’t know of this matter.
I agree that people need to be educated abut this subject. People need to learn more about this so that we find a way to fix this problem. Since it is close to Hawaii if it gets any bigger it could come here. I just hope we fix this so it won't affect us in the future.
