Absolutely refuse to accept a plastic bag when you purchase items at a store. Get in the habit of carrying a bag with you, stuff it in your purse or backpack before you leave the house. (Check list: keys, phone, money, bag…) If you forget just put the stuff in your pockets or just carry it if you have to. Also stop buying drinks served in plastic cups, or water in plastic bottles. Make the decision, live with conviction.

Sorry to bereak the news, but either you are a dimwit or need glasses. The article does NOT imply or state that recycling companies toss plastic into the ocean.

Just because they take your money, doesnt mean it gets recycled. it’s this kind of thinking that allows the deception to continue.

An Oregon University scientist released a report about this patch last year. Two of your top stories I spent five minutes researching and they turn out to be bogus. News releases and articles in National Geographic do not constitute scientific research. The only censoring going on is the actual truth.

White has pored over published literature and participated in one of the few expeditions solely aimed at understanding the abundance of plastic debris and the associated impact of plastic on microbial communities. That expedition was part of research funded by the National Science Foundation through C-MORE, the Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education.The studies have shown is that if you look at the actual area of the plastic itself, rather than the entire North Pacific subtropical gyre, the hypothetically “cohesive” plastic patch is actually less than 1 percent of the geographic size of Texas.

How do you know? You provide no information, just guesses. The point was that nothing in the text supports the headline.
