I recently saw a program about companies that are working together to reduce waste that ends up in landfills. It did make me wonder if it made them more accepting to waste in their processes in order to keep the cycle going.

The cool thing about terracycle is they are recycling while using very little energy (No chipping and remolding).

Oceans of Garbage

August 17th, 2006

The largest dump in the world isn’t outside New York or London or Shanghai but in a desolate stretch of the Pacific Ocean nearly a thousand miles from the nearest island. Held together by a slowly rotating system of currents northeast of Hawaii, the Eastern Garbage Patch is more than just a few floating plastic bottles washed out to sea; the Patch is a giant mass of trash-laden water nearly double the size of Texas.
The Eastern Garbage Patch is just the most obvious manifestation of the amount of pollution filling the seas. Even though seventy percent of plastic items will eventually sink, the UNEP estimates there are 46,000 pieces of marine debris for every square mile of all the world’s oceans. Nearly four fifths of this garbage has been carried from litter on land, washed into storm drains, or floated down rivers.
The problem, of course, is plastic and its nearly complete resistance to the elements. Able to last indefinitely in seawater, plastics will continue to plague the Eastern Pacific long after new solutions have been adopted on land.

I'm all for it, but I don't think it can possibly tackle the overwhelming amount of waste being produced.

That's horrible. I hadn't heard of that before. Maybe they could turn it into a land mass. I saw a program where a guy made a personal island using old plastic bottles and nets.

I saw this link in the article you posted and thought it was very cool. It's confusing/upsetting that great ideas like this don't become mainstream.
