Think most of us have seen results of plastic dumping in the oceans, hope this works.

Leaving San Diego when I was stationed there, I distinctly remember waiting to be told that we were out beyond the 12-mile limit, and that we could begin dumping trash off the fantail of my old Tin Can. Within minutes there was a mile or two long trail of floating garbage bags. I may have been only eighteen and an E-2, but I knew that I didn’t like being a part of that kind of egregious environmental disregard.

Multiply that by all the ships that sail the seas and you can see the problem. A practice that may have made sense with cotton or canvas bags that would eventually deteoriate carried forward to plastic bags that will float forever.

Exactly what I thought at the time. In my mind's eye, I still can see a trail of plastic trashbags behind every ship I was on, and it angers me that our government was that dumb in its callous disregard for our great oceans and seas.
