Plastic Paradise is a documentary by Angela Sun about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch at Midway Atoll. It shows how plastic is ruining nature, causing birds and animals to die and polluting the waters. It’s pretty bad.
The documentary analyses the change that inventing plastic has had on our lives and tries to answer the question of where the plastic we invent goes. 20 tonnes of plastic trash actually end up on the island of Midway Atoll, which is pretty much in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Yeh but the pacific garbage patch isn’t lumps of floating plastic, it is tiny minuscule grains akin to grains of sand. It is almost invisible to the naked eye and certainly not like the famed garbage island misconception.
But hey its not like gizmodo to use grandiose storytelling.
