DIVERSION - Great Pacific Garbage Patch
from The Global Good Podcast · host Nicole Roberts
If we care about preserving our planet, the importance of the oceans’ health cannot be overstated. They cover over 70% of the Earth’s surface and produce more than 50% of our oxygen. Unfortunately, our daily actions can be incredibly detrimental to the ocean-health we so desperately need. Set sail with us as we head to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an area where, thanks to both natural currents and our negligent contamination, plastic is turning our oceans into chemical soup. Intro music by Siddhartha Corsus - Sita's Song Research and writing by Nicole Roberts with assistance by Tyler Wikoff Produced by WillPower Productions Watch the Vice Documentary: https://video.vice.com/en_us/video/garbage-island/563b9c912aab5c416bc75039 Learn more about Charles Moore, Oceanographer and Discoverer of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch: http://www.captain-charles-moore.org/ Watch Sea Sick: Ocean in Crisis TED Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crPiV4C_t7k Learn more from Nat Geo: https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/great-pacific-garbage-patch/ Watch Plastic Paradise: https://plasticparadisemovie.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nicole-roberts1/support
