review 1: My first exposure of this problem was when the Indonesian airplane went down and can't be found because of all the debris in the oceans. So I picked this up from the library to learn some more of the subject, and boy was I blown away!! How terrible we humans are in pursue of profit and ease. The question should not be of how big of a carbon footprint are you leaving behind, but how big of a PLASTIC one!! Wow.
review 2: Fascinating, well-researched, and… demoralizing. We are absolutely immersed in toxins, the ocean is close to wrecked, and there's not a lot we can do about it. But. Read this book anyway. It will shift your worldview a little, and when millions of us shift our worldview, things change. The prose can get a little technical, but let yourself... more skim over some parts, and you'll get plenty from this book. less
