I shudder everytime I see a bunch of do-gooders letting off thousands of balloons in aid of some make themselves-feel-good gesture.
Shopping bags fly in the wind in places like the far east & the currents bring it onto Australia's coast. When one wanders along these "pristine isolated beaches" tonne upon tonne of flotsam have to be negotiated. Glass bottles, all kind of plastics, all products of modern throwaway society make up what I call the last great Wildermess.

Ok big pile of plastic in Pacific Ocean.
Why can't some ninny come up with an idea to do something about it instead of all the whining?
Get some old container ship that was going to get cut up on a beach and turn it into a processing facility.
Then collect the plastic, have it load in at one end of the ship and sort granulate it, and turn it into floating buoys or platforms that come off the other end.

There is no such plastic on Sydney beaches because Sydney has waste disposal and recycling at landfill sites.

The underwater photos of plastic being shown are from near where rubbish is being dumped by some remote towns and villages.

Aboard ship recycling of ocean plastic would not be successful because there is not the amount of plastic as reported.

I suggest look back into links on this thread. There is no mention of plastic killing mutton birds at Lord Howe Island.

It's one thing to say birds lack nutrition because there is not enough room for food in their plastic filled stomach, and it's another thing to say birds lack nutrition because of starvation, inadequate or no food.

The stories about plastic are distracting attention from sewage and industrial effluent nutrient overload, nutrient pollution in other word. That unprecedented nutrient pollution is feeding unprecedented algae that is causing ocean and waterway dead zones. That pollution is also feeding epiphyte growth that is continuing to destroy seagrass nurseries vital to the marine food web.

The penny will drop soon when the likes of the BBC report true news about unpreceded sewage nutrient fed algae increasing warmth in areas of ocean, not just in Arctic waters.

Remember you first heard it here on OLO, not on the BBC or on our ABC.
What a hide the najor media has to keep all this quiet. Gagged. Suppressed. While they promote emission schemes and plastic bags for sale, fake news.

JF Aus,
There's no 100% solution, not even a 25% at this stage for the waste the greed mongers produce at everyone's eventual expense. Unfortunately, out of sight & out of mind does not equate to being out of our system. The only way to save this miserable lot that calls itself mankind is by enough intelligent humans ganging up to knock the insanity of greed on the head.
I'm not about to hold my breath though.
Greed is actually a form of stupidity for which there's no remedy at this stage of evolution.

individual,

Thats a good definition of greed you put there.

Re climate science and higher energy costs making some money grabbing people a lot of money, this following link indicates how incomplete the science and BS is.
