Toxic Garbage Island The Northern Gyre

Toxic Garbage Island The Northern Gyre

PACK YOUR TRASH PEOPLE!

As if you needed a reason to pack your trash when you leave the beach… well here is a great (AND VERY SCARY) one. Although VBS.tv did this piece on the Northern Gyre, in the Pacific Ocean, in 2008 it’s as relevant as ever. The piece is a 3 part series… We suggest you grab a seat and watch them from reel to reel.

Come aboard as the VBS crew takes a cruise 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.
