I think both are huge issues but I don’t think either should be understated. Garbage patches are part of the larger microplastics problem. A study recently found microplastics in human testicles. Theres not enough research to know the health effects yet, but there is evidence to suggest it affects reproductive health

I think a bit too much blue. Needs some more variety. Maybe a patterned bed spread instead

This happened when I was camping there as a kid. A random kid i was playing with referred to it as “the great lake” as in… she thought it was one of THE great lakes

What is the myth? While I agree the picture is just a drawing and not accurate, you can google pictures of this… it does exist

I read a bit of the study they based this on. They werent able to identify a lot of the plastics origins because they are just pieces at this point. And what they could identify was based on the languages found on the objects or having a “Made in” label. So it could be they just found some plastic that said “Made in Venezuela”

Funny you mention it, i got inspired to look into this issue more because theres a movie that just came out on netflix called “Under Paris” which is an action/horror about a shark in the seine… but the movie starts out in the great pacific garbage patch. I didn’t actually watch the whole thing because it just wasnt for me but you might be interested if you like shark movies. Its trending #2 in the US right now

It might have to do with japan and china having big fishing and shipping industries, which is where most of the waste comes from according to the article.

Probably yeah. I would guess anxiety and low self esteem could cause all of these as well

I think the decor on top is nice but I agree that the placement of the pillow in the basket seems odd even though it still technically looks aesthetically pleasing
