I began talking with people who actually had been out to the gyre and were studying the plastic problem in the marine environment and upon doing so, I realized actually that cleaning it up would be a very small drop in the bucket relative to how much is being generated every day around the world, and that actually I needed to back up and look at the bigger picture.
Empecé a hablar con gente que ya había estado en el remolino de basura estudiando el problema del plástico en el entorno marino, y, al hacerlo, me di cuenta que esa limpieza sería una pequeña gota en el océano respecto de la cantidad que se genera diariamente en todo el mundo y que tenía que dar un paso atrás y mirar el panorama general.
