NYTimes: Afloat in the Ocean, Expanding Islands of Trash

I've noted this in my blog before - a swirling mass of plastic garbage the size of Canada. What an optimistic idea to turn the plastic into diesel.


"Project Kaisei, based in San Francisco, is trying to devise ways to clean up the [huge ocean swirling plastic garbage] patch by turning plastic into diesel fuel."

Afloat in the Ocean, Expanding Islands of Trash

A garbage patch in the Pacific is one of five that may be caught in giant gyres scattered in the world's oceans.
