I didn't know whether to start this in Around the Rim or in here, so I chose the scientific focus. I just read about the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch".
I wonder if there is any way to collect the plastic. It has been localized, somewhat; at least they can locate it enough to collect samples and study it. After their research about the impact is completed, and since they are stating the plastic particles are floating near the surface, I wonder if there is any way someone could scoop it out and maybe even recycle it? (maybe environmental groups, commercial plastics companies, etc, etc.)
Just a little brainstorming moment. Now back to our usual programming.
