WHAT/WHERE
Come aboard with the VBS crew in Toxic Garbage Island part 3/3. Sail to the Northern Gyre in the Pacific Ocean, a spot where currents spin and cycle, churning up tons of plastic into a giant pool of chemical soup.

The garbage gyre has gotten ample treatment at Matador Change with The World’s Most Offensive Landfills and ‘Chris Jordan gets ready to Visit the Pacific Garbage Patch.’ The enormity of the environmental damage that the gyre points to has many asking if we should ban plastic. BNT exposes The Inconvenient Truth About Green Travel and Change also asks if travel writers should care about their environmental impact, an issue that can no longer be ignored.
