Trash Beach

May 29 2008
From toys, to shampoo bottles, to bread wrappers, to car parts, to our shoes and clothes, plastic is everywhere!  But what happens to all that plastic when we are done with it? Where does it end up?  People have said that 90% of plastic ever produced is still around today.  See the unexpected place Pierre has found our plastic leftovers. Across the Pacific Ocean and the other great oceans of the world, we find huge piles of garbage collecting along the shorelines - and at the centers of huge ocean currents as they circulate. Many animals are killed by this trash, this garbage of rope and nets and bottles and shoes - all the stuff we forget, that washes out to sea. Pierrre and Krista find these on the South Point of the Big Island of Hawai'i. Produced by: Pierre Terre, 5/29/2008 Language: English Run Time: 2 min. 48 sec. Story Level 1 = Intended for all children or adults
