Midway Island plastic trash


Am reading Moby Duck, which traces the paths plastic toy ducks took around the world's oceans after a container full of them fell into the North Pacific.  The amount of plastic out there boggles the mind.  A dead baby bird on Midway was found to have more than 200 pieces of plastic in its little body.  Clean up crews have collected over 3 million disposable lighters there.
