The Great Pacific Garbage PatchWhen most people throw away a piece of plastic trash, they give no thought to where it may end up.  The reality is that our reckless polluting of plastic products has turned the Pacific Ocean into "the Great Pacific Garbage Patch".  This massive garbage dump in the Pacific Ocean is literally a "toxic soup" of trash, plastic, garbage and human waste an area about twice the size of the continental United States that stretches from Hawaii to Japan.

The truth is that we are literally destroying the Pacific Ocean and the environmental horror that we have created is getting worse every single hour of every single day.

How could we have done this?

What excuse will

Most people seem to operate under the assumption that the United States has a free and open media. But that assumption is totally wrong. The reality is that the American media is very tightly controlled, and when an important environmental story threatens to upset an important corporate sponsor or governmental interest it is quickly killed.

If you don't believe us, then just check out the following YouTube video about how the Monsanto corporation ruthlessly killed a Fox News story about the use of BGH hormones in their milk.....
