The Great Pacific Garbage Patch Is So Big, Invasive Species Are Now Thriving On It

It struck me while reading this that one of those ever so wealthy billionaires could pay to clean up this mess and not even notice the money had gone. 💰 💰 💰 Form a queue on the right please. 🧛‍♂️ 🧛‍♂️ 🧛‍♂️

- Das Projekt "The Ocean Cleanup" fischte schon mehr als 200.000 kg Plastikmüll aus dem Great Pacific Garbage Patch im Pazifischen Ozean.

Allerdings gehen Schätzungen davon aus, dass sich in diesem gigantischen Müllstrudel im Nordpazifik etwa 1,8 Billionen Plastikteilchen befinden.

😱 Uno studio della Fao e del Programma per l’ambiente delle Nazioni Unite stima che sono 640.000 tonnellate le reti da pesca che navigano negli oceani, circa il 10% dei rifiuti totali. Uno studio recente sul Great Pacific Garbage Patch ha rivelato che solo l'ammasso di rifiuti situato nell'Oceano Pacifico settentrionale è composto da 42mila tonnellate di macroplastica, di cui l'86% costituito da reti da pesca.

🔎 Inoltre, secondo lo studio realizzato da 26 biologi marini e pubblicato a marzo 2021 da Nature, le attività ittiche emettono dai 600 milioni a 1,5 miliardi di tonnellate di CO2 ogni anno, tanto quanto il traffico aereo mondiale.

This is the sort of problem that capitalism is terrible at solving. We need regulation!

Even if you put everything into the right blue bins, a lot of plastics will end up in landfills and the ocean. Consumers can't solve this problem. bloomberg.com/view/articles/20
