Plastic garbage patch in the ocean

Definitely Check this out!!
I know we mentioned in class one time the world of plastic there is underwater in one particular spot of the ocean. In this video, Capt. Charles Moore of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation discusses the main issues with plastic in relation to the ocean. I personally know that plastic bottle caps are not recyclable but there are thousands and millions of people that don't and the direct effects can be seen in this video. The use of plastic is already being discouraged in an effort to create a more environmentally friendly society but this video makes me think about how to get to the root of the problem?
