Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch plot
"Sending out an SOS to the world"
Angela Sun's journey of discovery takes her to one of the most remote places on Earth, the Midway Atoll, where she hopes to uncover the truth behind the mystery of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, also known as the plastic soup. This is an area in the north of the Pacific Ocean where huge amounts of plastic and other waste float together. On her path, she meets scientists, industrialists, legislators and activists, who shed light on the massive consumption of single-use plastic in the oceans and what this could mean for our health in the short term.
