There's an "island" of debris and garbage floating in the Pacific that's the size of Texas.... and growing...
Needles and other medical waste have been washing up on NJ shores since waaaaaaaaaaaaay back...
I used to patrol beaches there in the 70's for needles and other such fine stuff as a small child would fine interesting to (ugh) play with.

So why are we surprised when we don't respect the oceans and this shit starts washing up onshore?
We are the ones who created this sea of death.

My dad was a chemist and when I was apalled that he was helping to design a pipeline to dispose of chemical waste, he said "Oh don't be such a panic artist... the ocean is a very big place"

Respectfully, Dad, it did fill up with all this shit because it wasn't just your company pumping it in there.
