Podcasts about pacific garbage patch

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by environmental changemaker Andy Keller, the founder and CEO of ChicoBag. Together, they explore the powerful connection between our personal well-being and the health of the planet. Andy shares the transformative story of how a trip to the landfill opened his eyes to plastic pollution and ignited a mission to reduce single-use waste. From designing the first ChicoBag to taking on the plastic industry in court, Andy reveals the grit, courage, and vision behind his movement. Discover how environmental awareness improves mental health, why nature is our best therapy, and how small actions can build lasting legacy. This is a must-listen for anyone passionate about sustainability, wellness, and making a real impact.   About the Guest – Andy Keller:Andy Keller is an environmental advocate, entrepreneur, and the visionary behind ChicoBag, a company committed to eliminating single-use waste. His mission began after witnessing the impact of plastic firsthand and has since evolved into a global movement for sustainable living. Known as the “Bag Monster,” Andy has faced lawsuits, educated lawmakers, and traveled to the Pacific Garbage Patch to raise awareness.   Key Takeaways: Single-use plastic doesn't disappear—it pollutes air, land, and oceans, harming both the planet and human health. Nature restores mental clarity and emotional peace; spending time outdoors is essential for wellness. Courage in advocacy matters—Andy's legal battle against the plastic industry shows that even individuals can spark systemic change. Reusable bags, sustainable choices, and conscious consumption are small actions that lead to a better legacy. The health of the environment is directly tied to our emotional and physical well-being.   Connect with Andy Keller:Website: https://www.chicobag.comInstagram: @chicobag   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch: DM Me HereSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.comJoin Our Community: https://nas.io/healthymind   Stay Tuned and Follow Us!YouTube: Healthy Mind Healthy LifeInstagram: @podhealth.clubThreads: @podhealth.clubFacebook: Podcast Healthy MindLinkedIn: Avik Chakraborty #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #sustainability #mentalhealth #ecohealth

Kathryn interviews Author Michael Grossman MD.All couples long for an intense, passionate love that lasts, and all couples will encounter conflict—the challenge is knowing how to navigate this journey while growing a deep, enduring partnership. Having been married for over 50 years, Michael Grossman MD and his wife Barbara Grossman PhD are now sharing the science of “falling in love forever”. They admit they ran into headwinds as a young couple and faced painful and destructive conflicts but they had two children, which motivated them to find a solution. The doctors share their wisdom to clarify and enlighten readers with strategies that balance both security and mystery in romance. Michael Grossman MD has been a board-certified family physician and has been a fellow of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine since 2009. Kathryn also interviews Author Brian Belefant.When he was a young student in Italy, Alex flirted with becoming an artist. After returning to the USA, he built a career as a commercial photographer, shooting houses, cars, breakfast cereals, and other objects for sale. He found a business partner, Tony, who got him funding for a studio. As Alex reflects, his work wasn't glamorous—he never got to shoot gorgeous swimsuit models or go on location to Paris. Yet he remembered the lessons his mentor, Janusz, had imparted about lighting and observation, which made his work not only better but also satisfying. After ten years, Tony sold the studio and handed him a big fat check. So, now he is a millionaire with a condo and a beautiful live-in girlfriend, Grace, who always seems to have a headache. He is frustrated and uninspired—until he stumbles across the existence of an artificial floating marvel (or atrocity) called the Pacific Garbage Patch. Why not charter a yacht to go out and explore it? Brian Belefant started his career as an advertising copywriter, writing hundreds of commercials for major brands, from Nissan to Pepsi. He is an award-winning fine art photographer.

Eradicating the swirling gyre of plastic trash in the Pacific Ocean has been the longtime goal of Ocean Cleanup, a nonprofit group. On Monday, in Victoria, British Colombia, the group took a big step forward, hauling 120,000 pounds of plastic out of the ocean using retrofitted fishing trawlers and specialized nets. And, Bernardo Arévalo upset Guatemala's political establishment by clenching his country's presidency this past weekend. But he faces a tough task ahead. Also, in Ecuador, a peaceful snap presidential election took place over the weekend amid an unprecedented security crisis that has left three politicians assassinated in less than a month. Plus, an artist's fake green card project inspires conversations about US citizenship.

EPISODE 72 SYNOPSIS    The Gratuitous Ghost of Gilbert Gottfried Returns    Folks, it's a “smoke a cigarette afterwards” cool-as-a-cucumber kind of episode.    Co-host Arik opens the show with something nice to say about his current state of residence, South Carolina: “Well, at least it's not the Pacific Garbage Patch.”     Then again, he could be stuck in Burnt Korn, Alabama, with our special guest, Carla. Things in Alabama are so bad, all the color has been sucked out. (Check it out on YouTube!)    Usually sound engineer Seaman Drains—I mean, Pauly from Bali—gets the hate sloppy seconds, but he kicks off the show with a tale of his recent trip to Florida to visit his ill father. The family decided to have a movie night—EXCEPT no one considered the fact that ailing pops might not be in the mood, with all his children and grandchildren gathered about, to watch a graphic sex scene.     “Haven't we reached the point, where if you need to watch two or more people getting it on, just go surf some porn? It's time to eliminate ‘squeal like a pig' ass spanking from Hollywood. I mean, this scene was in a period piece!”    Not that we're prudes, but what's the NC-17 rating for, if not for a period piece film that shows an anal rape scene over and over from every character's point of view?    Meanwhile, Arik discusses the difference between bestiaries and bestiality, while Pauly spends a half hour downloading a photo Carla wants to share. Boy oh boy, this is one photo worth the wait:    “DO NOT CLICK BUTTONS WITH GENITALIA.”    Tune in to find out more!

Scientists have discovered creatures living on an island made of rubbish.

Mayor Karen Bass' first city budget includes $1.9 billion for the LAPD. This comes as the agency faces a hiring and retention crisis. Fox settled its defamation suit with Dominion Voting Systems on Tuesday for $787.5 million. It could affect Fox's coverage and the broader media landscape. Extreme restrictions on abortion access are putting GOP figures in a difficult political bind. The majority of Americans still support access to the health procedure. For decades, studies suggested moderate drinking might have some health benefits, like red wine boosting heart health. Now a new analysis debunks those myths. Researchers have discovered a new ecosystem growing inside the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is about twice the size of Texas.

Once in a while, we reach into the THN mailbag and discover a letter of such exquisite abhorrence that we set our delicate egos aside and grant a listener center stage as Epistolary First Chair of Hate. Such is the case with poor Steven of Urbandale, Illinois, who at the local grocery store recently battled Handicapped Hilda plus an army of social workers and police officers for the honor of his self-soiled elderly mother. (Shh. Don't tell anyone that Steven keeps his ma locked in the back 40 shed and only feeds her Meow Mix.) Co-host Arik follows this G.O.A.T. Hate Letter—only to be upstaged by sound engineer Pauly from Bali's carafe o' beer. Arik wades through the suds, then tells a St. Patrick's Day rideshare horror tale of drunken zombie college students, who, just the night prior, attacked his poor Kia and left him for dead, whilst Officer Doolittle and his assistant Brenda whistled Dixie and gave each other pedis. THN PSA: Please don't mob-kill your Uber driver, even if he's not wearing green. Also, thanks for nothing, St. Patrick. You just had to return to the island of your tormenters to show them Jesus. Just so you know, so many centuries later, all it resulted in was an SUV mirror getting whacked by a four-sheets-to-the-wind freshman, and the near drawing and quartering of a perfectly innocent cabbie. So, Paddy, thank you for bringing the world one step closer to “The Purge.” Pauly from Bali next directs our attention toward proper disgust: with the world on the verge of a major extinction moment, why the holy bleep are restaurants and cafes providing takeaway materials to in-house guests?! Also, we don't need 8 million plastic straws for our beverages! Are you trying to make the Pacific Garbage Patch bigger than the Great Red Spot on Jupiter?! THN PSA 2: The only time you need a bloody straw is for a coconut. Period. End of story!

Riley joined us to discuss what is happening with recycling & the facts behind the percentages of what does get recycled & what goes into the landfill. We talk about the different kinds of plastics & the profitability of recycling. Also, we cover who are the biggest offenders to a true blight on the planet: the great Pacific Garbage Patch. We also talk briefly on current events geopolitically with stuff happening out east with Russia & Ukraine.

My AP Biology Thoughts  Unit 8 Ecology EPISODE TITLE: Pacific Garbage Patch and Its Impacts on WildlifeWelcome to My AP Biology Thoughts podcast, my name is Angelina and my name is Emily and we are your hosts for the Unit 8 Ecology podcast on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and Its Impacts on Wildlife. Today we will be discussing the Garbage Patch's harmful effects on aquatic life and how it relates to the AP Biology Curriculum.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/great-pacific-garbage-patch/ (https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/great-pacific-garbage-patch/)  Segment 1: Overview of Pacific Garbage Patch and Its Impacts on WildlifeBackground info:  The patch is a vortex of plastic waste and debris which is very calm and stable but surrounded by four currents that sweep debris into the center  Two distinct collections of debris, the Western and Eastern Garbage Patches  Pacific: Garbage is spun and linked together by the North Pacific Subtropical Convergence Zone, where warm water ( South ) meets cool water ( Arctic ) Much of the debris is not biodegradable and has taken a significant toll on the aquatic wildlife  Most of the debris is plastic, which is not biodegradable but rather breaks down into microplastic particles Segment 2: Evidence that supports how the Patch Harms Wildlifehttps://theoceancleanup.com/great-pacific-garbage-patch/ (https://theoceancleanup.com/great-pacific-garbage-patch/)  According to National Geographic, oceanographers and ecologists discovered that about 70% of marine debris sinks to the ocean floor, so the patch may also be an underwater heap of trash  Marine debris is known to be harmful to wildlife  Ex: Loggerhead sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish  Ex: Albatrosses mistake plastic pellets for eggs and feed them to their chicks, which then die of starvation or ruptured organs  Ex: Seals and other animals get entangled in abandoned nets and other waste  hear about turtles a lot because of many companies movements to stop using straws, but we dont always hear about the other species being affected so it is definitely important to learn about these organisms as well BIG ONE: Marine debris can disturb marine food webs As microplastics collect near the ocean's surface, they block sunlight which prevents plankton and algae to grow  Many organisms depend on these producers for food Since they are at the foundational levels of the food web, when they are negatively impacted, the whole web is as well  Segment 3: Connection to the CourseEnergy flow: Affects all wildlife (trophic structure) Kills species, leaving less energy in ecosystem If organisms consume garbage, the organisms feeding on them will be indirectly feeding on garbage Bioaccumulation Impacts humans as well We should all do little things to help the environment Thank you for listening to this episode of My AP Biology Thoughts. For more student-ran podcasts and digital content, make sure that you visit http://www.hvspn.com (www.hvspn.com).  Music Credits:"Ice Flow" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Subscribe to our Podcasthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-ap-biology-thoughts/id1549942575 (Apple Podcasts) https://open.spotify.com/show/1nH8Ft9c9f6dmo75V9imCk (Spotify) https://podcasts.google.com/search/my%20ap%20biology%20thoughts (Google Podcasts )   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC07e_nBHLyc_nyvjF6z-DVg (YouTube)   Connect with us on Social MediaTwitterhttps://twitter.com/thehvspn ( @thehvspn)

It rarely happens in the wake of a school shooting, but it's happening in Michigan: the parents of the 15-year-old accused of killing four classmates earlier this week have been charged with involuntary manslaughter -- and police are looking for them. We'll get details of the charges and ask about the chances the parents could be convicted.Here in Los Angeles, apparently being charged with committing violent smash-and-grab robberies isn't enough to keep you in jail: 14 people arrested ... have all been released.And the next time you see a cute cat video on the web, beware: it may take you down a conspiracy theory wormhole.An early characteristic of the new omicron variant: is a potentially high re-infection rate.New York City could make history next week by becoming the first city in the country to allow non-U.S. citizens to vote in local elections.And we've been hearing the warnings of Christmas tree shortages... so is the grinch going to make off with yours?

There are many fundraisers that occur throughout the year for the oceans and they are run by various organizations. Most of them have good intentions to help protect the Oceans. Some raise a lot of money and some not so much; however, the organizations to which you donate matter.  There is a large fundraiser that is going on right now to help raise $30 million dollars that promises to take out 30 million lbs of trash from the Ocean. Two organizations will split the money into two equal parts. One of those organizations is called the Ocean Conservancy and they have a great plastic pollution program; however, the other organization is the controversial Ocean Clean Up.  If you don't recall, the Ocean Clean Up is an organization that promised to clean up the Pacific Garbage Patch within 5 years of its operation. It not only failed, but it ignored many scientific criticisms and never made their environmental assessment public, but promised that everything was fine. None of their prototypes have worked even though millions of dollars were invested.  Now the Ocean Clean Up stands to gain a lot of money through a crowdsourcing campaign called Teamseas. The campaign is not talking about the controversy surrounding the Ocean Clean Up Project thereby legitimizing their work in the Ocean.  Dr. Virginia Schutte was asked to help raise funds for the campaign, but refused to participate due to the Ocean Clean Up being involved.  Virginia joins me on the show today to discuss why and what you could do to help protect the Ocean.  Make a donation to the Ocean Conservancy: https://donate.oceanconservancy.org/page/92465/donate/1 Connect with Dr. Virginia Schutte: website: https://www.virginiaschutte.com/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@vgwschutte?

Seaspiracy hit Netflix on March 24th, and I don't think even the vegan community were prepared for the huge impact it was about to have. Trending across the globe and hitting #1 on Netflix in the UK, the power of Seaspiracy cannot be understated. An outpouring of news articles, statements in response, and a 'debunking' of the facts presented soon followed. Today I'm discussing Seaspiracy, the impact that it's had and some of the criticisms it's received.In today's episode:- Responding to: "What about Indigenous fishers? Seaspiracy shouldn't be telling Indigenous communities not to fish."- Responding to: "It’s not right to tell the consumer what to do, Seaspiracy is gaslighting you."- Aquaculture Alliance & false statements.- What has the pushback from the industry been like so far? - Going in depth on the Earth Island Institute/Dolphin-Safe conversation.- Facing speciesism : caring  about dolphins more than tuna.- Explaining the great Pacific Garbage Patch statistic. - Did Cowspiracy force environmental organisations to change their messaging, and will Seaspiracy do the same?✺ To support the show & get access to exclusive monthly podcast episodes: http://www.patreon.com/earthlinged✺ Find out more about what I do & join my mailing list: http://www.earthlinged.org✺ Download my free 122 page e-book: http://www.earthlinged.org/ebook✺ Take a 22 day free vegan challenge: http://switchtovegan.co.uk✺ Become a supporter of my activism (thank you!): http://www.earthlinged.org/support

Ben Lecomte is a marathon swimmer, ocean advocate, entrepreneur, and speaker. He swam the Atlantic from Cape Cod to France in 1998. In 2018 he attempted to swim the Pacific, but after 165 days of swimming his team had to call it off due to severe storm damage to their mainsail. During each swim, Ben collected data on plastic pollution in the ocean and worked with scientists to create extensive, uncharted information on what types of pollution Ben swam through, where it was in the ocean, and what clues they could find about where the pollution originated. Tune in today as we talk with Ben about what he found and what he is doing to urge people to make informed decisions about what they buy and discard.

Our society’s recklessness and disregard seems to be making the Earth less hospitable to our society, so James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana take a look at the accelerating destruction of, and increasing threats to, our habitat (01:21) and discuss ways that societies can make preserving the planet we live on more of a priority (32:55).

We were all over the place on this episode, Randall finally made his return and we got into a lot of topics.  We talked about Joe-shitting-his-pants-with-dementia-Biden & his new running mate miss piggy, their platform of banning certain firearms that we lost- once again for the record- in a boating accident. Angel can't do the speed limit, how she is the only person who got busted doing over 80 in a Chevy Aveo on I-71, living in Mexico City back in the mid 80s, traffic, pollution, left-libertarians & environmentalism, cancel culture, Dan Harmon & the skit he did that was in very poor taste & yet another pool going for how long Joe the Demented Bat Biden stays in office before being replaced by miss piggy, the great Pacific Garbage Patch & a pirate ship being sold down in Virginia. No offense was intended at Canadian listeners or fishermen on Lake Erie.   https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/great-pacific-garbage-patch/ https://www.amazon.com/Dreamland-True-Americas-Opiate-Epidemic-ebook/dp/B00U19DTS0/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Youse Guys are:@angel_soundgirl@randyran_da_man@thebloodletting@jaycoleau Youse Guys are on:youseguyspod.com  check out our merch!!insta, facebook, twitter: @youseguyspodemail: youseguysandthat@gmail.comYouse Guys and that YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsBF4Iyzp--oIgEc9QkCmiwYouse guys can be listened to on: iTunes, podbean, spotify, google podcasts,  iHeartRadio, stitcher, anchor.fm & Tune In (Amazon/Alexa)you can support us on Patreon as well:https://www.patreon.com/Youseguyspod

For many of us, it may be difficult to recall a time when every consumable product didn't have a product safety seal on it. But those tamper proof packages all stem from a very real series of unsolved murders in Chicago in 1982. Back then, someone laced several bottles of Extra Strength Tylenol with Potassium Cyanide and distributed them in stores throughout Chicago. As a result, seven people died, and the murderer was never caught.Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/theconspiratorspodcast Notes:https://www.amazon.com/TYLENOL-MAFIA-Marketing-Johnson-Revised-ebook/dp/B005P81BO6https://patch.com/illinois/chicago/tylenol-murders-still-unsolved-after-34-yearshttps://www.aetv.com/real-crime/tylenol-murders-poisonings-cyanide-chicago-1982https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=the+tylenol+murders&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/tylenol-murders-1982https://abcnews.go.com/Health/PainManagement/fda-official-testify-agency-knew-johnson-johnson-recall/story?id=11765649 Music:Kai Engel, Mist & Clouds, Difference, December, January, February, November, Pacific Garbage Patch, Oneiri, Snowfall Intro, Rejecting the Sirenshttps://freemusicarchive.org/music/Kai_EngelDexter Britain, "The Tea Party"https://dexterbritain.com

If you think this blog is not applicable to you because you recycle, think again. Do you believe that because you live inland, far away from Southeast Asia where much of the plastic escapes land and finds its way into the ocean, that you haven’t contributed to the massive Pacific Garbage Patch? Think again. Do you believe that your individual actions are insignificant given the enormity of the challenges we face? Please, think again.

We have a massive plastic problem on this planet. Today we produce 380 million tons of plastic. The world is essentially drowning in a sea of plastic. The solution to this problem is to recycle, at least that's what we have been told... Netflix series Broken

In this episode I tell you about the lives, and deaths of two of the most famous artists who ever lived. Canada's Tom Thomson and Vincent Van Gogh have a lot in common. They both started painting late in life, they both struggled financially while they were alive, and there's evidence that both men may have been murdered.

For my 100th episode, I take a step back and return to a subject I talked a bit about in my very first episode. This is the story of Karen Silkwood, a nuclear energy activist who in 1974 died in a single car accident on a lonely stretch of Oklahoma highway. But was it an accident? Or was Karen murdered to keep her quiet about what she knew?

There are 237 species affected by the Pacific Garbage Patch. What changes can we make so that humans can coincide with animals? The Pacific Garbage Patch is a collection of microplastics the size of Texas floating through the ocean. How can we change the infrastructure of the world to treat the planet with respect?

We want to create an open forum for people interested in discussing the world's most important ideas.

The Ocean Clean Up Project was deployed in September with much anticipation of the world. The goal: Clean up the Pacific Garbage Patch. A lofty goal surrounded with a lot of controversy from the science and conservation fields; however, many media outlets were promoting the heck out of the project as a feel good project.  I have been very critical of the program relating to various criticism shared by the Marine Science and Conservation community.  The Clean Up Project device reached the Great Pacific Garbage Patch recently; however, it has not cleaned up anything. The device is not working the way it should. It is not moving fast enough to pick up the trash in the water. Boyan Slant released a statement saying that his team is working on the problem.  There may be some good that comes out of this project, which I discuss in this episode. Check it out.

Was wäre, wenn wir alle "Ökos" wären? Würden wir dann in unserer Freizeit den Pacific Garbage Patch abtragen helfen? Oder gäbe es an jeder Ecke ein Repair-Cafe? Könnten wir in den Geschäften plötzlich auf lange Haltbarkeit gezüchtete Obst- und Gemüsesorten kaufen? Würden wir in Öko-Kommunen leben? Gäbe es für sämtliche Verpackungsmaterialien ein Pfandsystem statt dem ewigen Einwegplastik? Wie gemütlich wäre es im Aktivhaus? Und wie sehr würden wir uns über ein richtig gut ausgebautes Öffi- und Radwegnetz freuen...? Diese und andere Fragen und einige erstaunliche Antworten dazu gibt's in dieser Ausgabe von Hirngespinst.

The week is our first week of NICE NOVEMBER and Aria Salan and Mickey Flykick are joined by comedians Doony and Ting Lim to discuss the pacific ocean garbage patch.

It's not secret that I am not a fan of the Ocean Clean Project that is spearheaded by Boyant Slat. I don't think the device that he is building will clean up the Oceans from plastic pollution or even the Pacific Garbage Patch; however, a colleague and friend John Davis has a different perspective on the project giving me more hope about the evolution of the project.  John is well versed in how the marine debris experts think about various project around the world dealing with marine debris (and plastic pollution). He knows these things because his organization, Open Communications for the Ocean (OCTO), operates the leading online community of marine debris professionals called the Marine Debris Listserv. In the episode, John talks about how and why OCTO started the listserv and what it has meant to him and the field of marine debris. Take a listen and find out some exciting updates for the Ocean Clean Project and gives me hope in Boyant's vision. What do you think about the Ocean Clean Up Project?

As regular listeners will know, Rowan Henthorn – who has worked recently as an advisor to the Isle of Man Government on the issue of plastic pollution – has spent the past few weeks floating around in the North Pacific Ocean. This may sound like a lovely marine adventure but sadly, Rowan and the all female crew of the SeaDragon were actually making their way through the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, something they described as ‘plastic soup’. Christy caught up with Rowan via satellite phone just as she was starting her watch on night shift, to find out how the expedition has gone. As you can imagine, the quality of the call isn’t ‘what you’d call crystal clear – but then, neither is the ocean...

If I can't exhale at the speed of sound, how does my voice travel the speed of sound? How do the Eastern Oregon hot springs work?

Also discussed: "Embiggen" added to the dictionary, oil companies buy Utah monuments for drilling, Amazon patents drones to recognize flailing and screaming gestures, the Texas-sized (?) Pacific Garbage Patch, earliest North American footprint found, China face IDs and tickets jaywalkers, mind-reading technology, new human organ discovered, and turtles develop karate-chopping flippers.

Calories. Flamethrowers. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. 3-D printed cars. All the important subjects of the day, discussed extensively to keep you in the know! But of course that’s not the true purpose of today’s program. The heavy hitting came from Pastor Chris Dodson of New Hope Bible Church in Cedar Hills UT, who discussed Isaiah 51:6 - the fleeting things of this world, God's amazing salvation, and righteousness that He gives us when we trust in Him. Awesome!

Dispelling the myths of the Collection of trash off the coast of California which is the size of California.

Plastic. It’s everywhere. Everywhere we want and need it, and everywhere we don’t. From the Pacific Garbage Patch to the nano-plastics that now inhabit our own bodies, the wonder product of the middle 20th century has grown to be a plague on humanity. The downside? It’s also really handy useful stuff, and if we shut off all plastic production tomorrow, we’d be in a pretty difficult spot. So how we solve the problem? We’ve been coming it at it through demand management, trying to promote less use, re-use, recycling and the like. As we all know of course trying to plug the pipe at the end never truly works. Moving to a supply management where rather than using less plastic we aim to use better plastic would seem to be a better route. Plastic that is both more advanced than what we have now, and that was truly biodegradable and non-garbage-patch-building sounds like part of the solution. Darrel Fry of Rossland, BC and his company Advanced Bio Carbon 3D is trying to do just that. In fact, it’s their second go at it. 10 years ago, the market wasn’t ready. In this episode we dive in and find out how and why he’s looking at going bigger by going smaller, and helping solve man’s most pressing challenges in the process. Create a better plastic by working with nature, turn it into a better product for the market, and create better environmental and business solutions in the process? You Can Do That Here.

In this Untamed Science video, Rob Nelson explores the claims by looking to the researchers. He was able to get footage from a research expedition into the “Pacific Garbage Patch” to see just how much trash is out there. While it isn’t a thick floating mat of trash, what the researchers found will amaze you. Learn more about the garbage patch here.

Imagine every person on earth had 100 pounds of plastic. That's how much new plastic will be manufactured in 2010. Sadly, much of that will end up in the ocean within a massive area dubbed the Pacific Garbage Patch. Can anything be done to clean it up?

In summer 2010, the United States and the Republic of Indonesia explored deep-sea Indonesian waters that had never been seen before. Together they discovered fascinating areas of the Coral Triangle, where the Indian and Pacific Oceans meet. In Secrets of the Deep Ocean you'll learn about how we explore the ocean, and see a massive undersea volcano and exciting, unusual and often weird-looking creatures that share our planet.

Watch a NOAA video podcast about the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer's Continuous Plankton Tow from Guam to California and sampling work conducted through the 'Pacific Garbage Patch'. Learn why systematic exploration aboard the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer is an evolving operational model referred to as a 'sticks and boxes' approach. The variety of data being collected onboard the Okeanos during this cruise from Hawaii to California represents a step forward in the exploration that can be conducted with the at-sea time allotted to the ship.
