SEE MORE: http://www.vbs.tv/shows/toxic/... For years we've been reading about a patch of garbage the size of Texas floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, ingeniously dubbed the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Basically, any trash that gets dumped in the water rides the currents to this one spot and joins an ever-increasing flotilla of crap. For all the breathless accounts of the mess and its impact on the area's sealife, however, no one seemed to have a picture of the buildup. In order to sate our own curiosity, VBS joined the crew of a research vessel studying the trash and sailed out into one of the most remote spots of open water in the world, the North Pacific Gyre, in search of this mythical garbage island. What we discovered once we got there was an ecological disaster beyond any of our expectations and possibly the single worst thing human beings have done to the planet and ourselves. Hope you're into cancer and sex-reversal! www.VBS.tv

@thegloriousryius It's there alright. There is physical pictorial proof. Just watch when boats troll the oceans & come up with all sorts of plastic. And they have tested people from all over the earth, & have found amounts of plastic in them. Besides, it's only common sense that after so many years of making non-biodegradable plastics, that a lot would end up in our oceans, & where do you thing it all goes? It's people like you that refuse to believe that worsen these problems.

@vintageandunique Oh, and I got some of those answers on a few of the other similar videos here on Youtube, like the one with the turtle that grew with a plastic ring around it's shell.

@furyofbongos That question is answered in the rest of the video. Go to vbs.tv & type in Toxic in the search box, & then just look for Toxic:Garbage Island, & you can watch the rest. Buy the answer is partly bags & trash left lying around that makes it's way in the oceans, stuff getting washed into storm drains, & marine garbage that is carelessly thrown into our oceans.

@88SmithDarin thumbs up for that :D

BTW, if you can't see it on satellite, then it's F*CK!N BS!!! Don't reply to this, because I know all the GD arguments of supposedly why it is not visible via satellite. My question is, how can you really measure its size if you cannot see in on sat? Also, if you like this documentary, there is one that proves that the garbage in Tokyo has created a super reef of life and the goblin shark still exists... Alarmist Freaks!

@Sithdisturber Thanks for contributing your tale of woe to "Things That I Make Up To Be a Sanctimonious Douche". It's fucking VICE, you should not be promoting the brand to 12 year olds, even if it didn't have the curse words. Then they go home and look it up and next thing you know they're on meth. Because that's how it goes, right? Riiiight.
