Good that you found such help!

I'm no expert but can do all the things I wanted too.


That's what really matters!

Stunningly effective photos, HONDO. Thank you for positing those. After seeing that evidence, what else is there to say in such a debate? I've saved the two shots for future reference.

Hollywood already has the 1st movie in the works. The plastic with the help from aliens turns into a BLOB. They call it The Blob 2. And the blob has an appetite for humans. :mrgreen: Humans will be consumed by the plastic they created. :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Almost all plastic in the ocean comes from just 10 rivers
https://www.dw.com/en/almost-all-plasti ... a-41581484

A study by Dutch firm The Ocean Cleanup and published in Nature on June 7, 2017, found that a full 86% of all the plastics in the ocean come from the rivers of a single, albeit large, continent: Asia.

Where Is the Plastic in the Ocean Coming From? Try Asia.
https://bigthink.com/robby-berman/where ... m-try-asia

The Ocean Conservancy estimates that are roughly 150 million metric tons of discarded plastic floating around the world’s oceans, with an additional 8 million metric tons being added every year. PRI calls this climate change’s ”apocalyptic twin.”
