screaming hand logo Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I mean if your species cant tell the difference between plastic garbage and fish good luck and all, but I'm guessing you'll all be extinct a long before humans stop making garbage. I mean look at that shit, according to evolution some creatures just aren't meant to stick around. i don't believe plastic was factored into this equation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

...HSAMSnoytiC Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 when i was younger i used to tear up watever i had in my hand in order to creat more garbage when i disposed of it on the ground. now that im older iv slowed down a little and really only throw garbage out of my window while im driving.

shai Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Did you know that albatrosses feed mainly near the surface? And what does plastic do when you throw it into water? That's right, it floats. So if they're feeding in or near the Gyre, there's a better than average chance that they are going to pick up whatever happens to be near their prey. Here's something a lot more scary that most people don't know about- Hormone-mimics In Plastic Water Bottles Act As Functional Estrogens ScienceDaily (Mar. 27, 2009) — Plastic packaging is not without its downsides, and if you thought mineral water was ‘clean’, it may be time to think again. According to Martin Wagner and Jörg Oehlmann from the Department of Aquatic Ecotoxicology at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, plastic mineral water bottles contaminate drinking water with estrogenic chemicals. In an analysis of commercially available mineral waters, the researchers found evidence of estrogenic compounds leaching out of the plastic packaging into the water. What’s more, these chemicals are potent in vivo and result in an increased development of embryos in the New Zealand mud snail. These findings, which show for the first time that substances leaching out of plastic food packaging materials act as functional estrogens, are published in Springer’s journal Environmental Science and Pollution Research. Wagner and Oehlmann looked at whether the migration of substances from packaging material into foodstuffs contributes to human exposure to man-made hormones. They analyzed 20 brands of mineral water available in Germany – nine bottled in glass, nine bottled in plastic and two bottled in composite packaging (paperboard boxes coated with an inner plastic film). The researchers took water samples from the bottles and tested them for the presence of estrogenic chemicals in vitro. They then carried out a reproduction test with the New Zealand mud snail to determine the source and potency of the xenoestrogens. They detected estrogen contamination in 60% of the samples (12 of the 20 brands) analyzed. Mineral waters in glass bottles were less estrogenic than waters in plastic bottles. Specifically, 33% of all mineral waters bottled in glass compared with 78% of waters in plastic bottles and both waters bottled in composite packaging showed significant hormonal activity. By breeding the New Zealand mud snail in both plastic and glass water bottles, the researchers found more than double the number of embryos in plastic bottles compared with glass bottles. Taken together, these results demonstrate widespread contamination of mineral water with potent man-made estrogens that partly originate from compounds leaching out of the plastic packaging material. The authors conclude: “We must have identified just the tip of the iceberg in that plastic packaging may be a major source of xenohormone contamination of many other edibles. Our findings provide an insight into the potential exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals due to unexpected sources of contamination.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 No, it's definitely real. Shai, nobody's arguing that the floating island of trash is fake. It's the pics in that link that dude posted that are fake. You have a large enough brain that I'm sure you could easily figure this out if you actually went back and looked at all the pics in said link.

Tavaruawon Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 You're becoming too predictable. I don't see how these pictures are fake. What the fuck is so implausible about the contents of a dead Albatross chick's stomach contents being full of plastic? Albatross chick's, like all baby birds are fed through regurgitation. Mom throws up random food she swooped - throws random food up into baby's mouth, baby swallows random food (plastic bits and pieces) - and cannot digest. Baby dies - digestive tract does not compute. There are further implications, basically the entire food chain around this area is completely infected with plastic based impurities. Many of the species are migratory...

If I'm "predictable" it's because I'm not completely full of shit like some of you faggots. Is that supposed to be an insult? It's NOT implausible that these birds are eating plastic, or even that it's killing them. I clicked on that link expecting to see real pics, and was even ready to email the link to people. But then common sense kicked in and I quickly realized that I was looking at staged pictures where some jackass was taking lighters, bottle caps and spray caps and just shoving them into dead bird corpses.

shai Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Did you actually look at those pics? Oh wait... you actually did and you still think they're real? Seeing as how I've been reading about this and similar problems for years from numerous sources, yeah. I also believe there's a planet called Saturn with rings around it even though I've never actually seen it up close. I'm not going to go on a big environmental tangent here, mainly because we're at the point where there's very little that can be done. Imagine trying to dredge an area the size of Texas...or trying to explain to albatrosses that they might want to refrain from eating plastic. You have a kid, you ought to be aware of the world that he's going to inherit someday after you're gone. Think about that for a minute.
