Where are the pictures of this island then? As usual Green Peace are just scaring people into giving them their hard earned cash, we especially laughed at the one of the dead bird that was meant to have died from eating plastic. Firstly you could tell the plastic they had placed over the poor birds body was new - if it had been in the water and then eaten by bird it would not be clean and brand new looking. Second this greedy bird had eaten more than it's body weight in the stuff, after a couple of bottle tops this bird would not have wanted to eat anything let alone more plastic, only wish we made a note of the link but it's on thier web site shouldn't be hard to find! Your figures do not add up Green Peace and as a result i trust you even less, stop ruining your own reputation before we give up believing you completely!

By now there is enough additional information that even hard nosed "scientific minds" like yours should be convinced of the existence of the patch of garbage. But I also know that people like you never change their minds about the threats to the environment. Oh, how I would love to really call you by your name, but i will refrain. Just keep polluting you obviously don't believe it's real any way. I know you wrote this garbage in 2006.

If you cant support your numbers, you decimate the credibility of real, accountable non profits that are using their donated funds in a positive and responsible way. I am sure that the Gyre exists, but dont inflate it to attract more money I agree with Frank.

In 24 days they found 100 large pieces of plastic in the ocean. Certainly these things should not be there. The activists note that we should stop doing harm, and are quite upset about the plastic in the ocean. They do however fail to notice that everything they have been eating with or out of, sleeping on, poo-ing in and floating upon on for those 24 days is about 80% made out of plastic.
