What's going to stop the polluters doing it again?

And sue for costs, from the manufacturers, if plastic is too expensive, they'll stop using it, if they had to pay the environmental costs, it would become too expensive.

Sorry, this isn't news.

They've been towing these nets around for a decade now.

The article says, if you give them 4 billion with a b dollars they will "clean up" the garbage patch.

No shit. Give someone a lot of money and things can be done. The problem as we all know is that there is no money available for this type of project.

I love news like this.

Btw, I assume this is referring to garbage that is floating. What about the garbage that has sunk? I mean, I don't even know whether it's a big problem, especially in the middle of the ocean, but I am still curious what's up with that.
