Were you psyched to learn about the Texas-sized patch of plastic garbage that’s floating in the Pacific Ocean, and want more? Watch Thomas’s interview with CNN and read his online discussion with the Firedog Lake people here.

I think most people usually experience bone-crushing despair and/or directionless anger after watching the documentary. We’re trying to develop a series called “Toxic Solutions” to counter some of that. Anybody got any ideas for cutting down on the amount of plastic in the world? Should we go after companies that use too much of it unnecessarily? Where should we focus our rage? Discuss!
