Dana interviews oceanographer Captain Charles Moore, one of the leading voices concerning the huge Texas-size patch of plastic garbage gathering in the Pacific Ocean. Captain Moore discusses the sources of the plastic and what we as individuals and as a society must do to take responsibility for the plastic garbage we are creating, to begin the clean-up of the oceans. Captain Moore sings a sea shanty to close the interview.
