Hi Mark!

More than at RISK i would say...how do you ever want to clean up the oceans
that are still being used as a perfect waste management sollution....
We are on the eve of destruction and no race to save earth can stop this...
Because the $$$$$$$$$$$ are all that matter to the world leaders..and new
world leaders....Wait until Chindia realy takes over....

Afree with Hans! Way more than at risk! 2 continents of plastic out in the Pacific? Disinegrating into everything, and coming to a body near you very soon, your own personal plastic waste dump in you! There is no escaping it, nowhere to get away from it. Way more than 41% polluted, try 100%! Incredible that we humans have despoiled something so vast, it's unfathomable, yet true! Noted with such disgust and sadness. Thanks, Mark, all we can do is keep trying.
