Wrong. Watch this little series from VBS.tv. Watch all of it.

After you watch it, explain to me how environmentalists are completely
overreacting about the deteriorating state of our oceans. Please text
me from your expensive sushi restaurant and tell me all of this is
bullshit. Explain to me how the simplest tax on plastic bags will
capsize the entire US economy, while you ingest the pesticide-coated
microparticles of plastic in your sashimi. I'm sure you have a very
convincing explanation for why we should continue to ignore this.
Are you considering watching this video but not particularly
interested in having a little mini Earth Day in your apt? You should
also check it out and check out VBS.tv in general, because VBS.tv is
from the very potty-mouths who brought you
Vice magazine
(I admit that Vice is a trashy rag for hipsters but they usually have some
eye-opening pieces). If you don't like Vice magazine, you may still be
a fan of
Spike Jonze, the creative director for the site. Jonze directed some of my favorite films including
Being John Malkovich and the upcoming hit,
Where The Wild Things Are.
Or just don't watch it. The trash continent will probably never affect you anyway, it being so far away and all.
