Great Pacific garbage patch

And there was a study done by the Ocean Cleanup.

which looked at the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

If any of you don't know about that, look it up.

It's a country-sized basically lump of garbage that's just sitting in the Pacific Ocean.

This was, you know, I mean like it's, it's meaningless now, not meaningless, but it's also like, it's such an industry now that it's functionally pointless the way that like so many formerly extremely challenging things have been smoothed over by big industries, uh,

To me, the funniest thing about Everest as a goal is that the top of Everest and the route to the top of Everest is basically the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Because you can't bring it down.

You have to lower your pack weight on the way up.

... 10 rivers responsible for, like, I don't know, a ridiculous amount of all the plasticization going in the ocean, et cetera.

Like the Pacific Garbage Patch, for example.

Right.

For ex- Right.

It's just a kinda, it's just like s- it's just 'cause of vibes.

'Cause of vibes.

I wanna just, for the v- viewer at home that has never heard the term Pacific garbage patch, I just, I'm gonna, I'm reading from the AI bot now.

It's an insane thing.

I mean, well, first, I'm happy to give my opinion.

I'll just note, first of all, you know, probably about half of all of the plastic that's in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch comes from fishing nets, right? It's not coming from Heinz ketchup packages that Knott Blood might be replacing.

It's coming from fishing gear.

You look at, like, all these North Atlantic white whales are this highly endangered species.

Oh, I think I got them all.

Fine work, fine work.

The GPGP, or Great Pacific This, ain't so great.

That is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Carson got that.

I should probably learn about the $1,600 level of numerical expressions.

Yeah.

And I think it's called, it's known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch or Trash Island, as some people call it.

Is that something you witnessed as well when you were out there?

Yeah, well, you know, you definitely see these slicks of plastic.

And the truth is with the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, I mean, you now have areas of the ocean.

We've just filmed a documentary off the coast of Hawaii.

You now have areas of the ocean where there's seven times more plastic than fish.

Think about it.

I think when a, a, you talk about the scariest thing for kids, and it's that Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and just incredible you say that the iceberg of junk-

Yeah

... should be the scariest thing.

Right.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Exactly.

And it's terrible to think about, obviously, but it's comfortably external.
