This is a book all of us plastic consumers would benefit from reading. Or rather the Earth and future us would benefit from us reading. It provides a tragic look into what plastic is doing to the environment—us included. One of my favorite take-aways is adding “REFUSE” to the front of “reduce, reuse, recycle.”

I thought this book was phenomenal. It was extremely informative talking about more than a plastic ocean and more than just his journey. Lots of great information and background history. all i can say is very interesting, enlightening, and inspiring. we gotta make changes.

Eye-opening non-fiction about ocean plastic. I introduced the author when he did a public presentation at Science World and he signed my copy with a nice dedication.

`Plastic Ocean` is an Earth Science written by authors Charles Moore and Cassandra Phillips. The topic is the oceans `plastic soup`, the largest garbage dump on the planet. I believe the author's position on this subject is the deadly impact plastic is having on the land and ocean, with particles of plastic small enough to penetrate human skin causing a multitude of health problems.
This book is dedicated to the generation, not yet born, that creates the world where plastic pollution is unthinkable. Another book like this is, "Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash" by author Edward Humes. This book follows three themes: living the message, the "tell-All" about plastics, and loving the ocean.
Tha author goes into much detail while explaining a process. Much of it is too technical for me. I enjoyed the book `Garbology`(Edward Humes) over this one. If you, the reader, would enjoy a more technical book I suggest you read `Plastic Ocean`
