The plastic killing fields
December 29, 2007
Continents of garbage in the oceans are killing marine life and releasing poisons that enter the human food chain, Amanda Woods
reports.
In one of the few places on Earth where people can rarely be found, the human race has well and truly made its mark. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean lies a floating garbage patch twice the size of Britain. A place where the water is filled with six times as much plastic as plankton. This plastic-plankton soup is entering the food chain and heading for your dinner table.
