It is heartbreaking to see my home country become a garbage can but you are right- unless all of the caribbean nations decide to take a stand, much won't change.Gabriela Bradthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08609570483359615674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657488799354400029.post-41282558129937261712012-07-03T11:37:08.228-07:002012-07-03T11:37:08.228-07:00The Gulf of Honduras is one of the newer documente...The Gulf of Honduras is one of the newer documented oceanic "garbage patches." Much of the plastic in those pictures is heavily beaten up; it's been caught in the gyres in the Gulf of Honduras from all over the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, and gotten funneled to this spot. Even if Honduras wiped out plastic 100%, without other Caribbean nations doing the same, the garbage would continue. It's sad that the locals seem to have given up. But sadder still is that throughout the world more & more people have given up too. Thanks for posting the pictures. Maybe the more of this that people see, the more they will push back against the plastic world.Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432284983902312892noreply@blogger.com
