Toxic: Garbage Island on VBS.TV

My friend turned me on to this new site called VBS.TV. Last night we watched a series called "Toxic". In "Garbage Island", the most startling of the series, we followed an independent film crew, their captain, ship doctor, and scientist, sail 3 weeks to the area of the Pacific between Alaska, Japan, and Hawaii. The currents there form a vortex, and currently the area is filled with plastic.

Garbage Island was not what I expected, and in fact the reality of it is beyond depressing.

"This is levels beyond pollution. We have changed the composition of ocean water." - Thomas Morton, VBS.TV

Please watch this 3 part episode of Toxic: Garbage Island, and share it with your friends.

If that's not enough for you, there are three other episodes of Toxic - Alberta (and the future of American Oil), Linfen (the pollution of China's air), and Napoli (Italy's trash problem)
