This is a trailer of the film. You should watch the whole thing. It is so incredible to hear the stories
of the people around the Tsunami. The story is still going on as the debris crosses the Pacific.

This is a trailer to the movie "Bag It" (which is available on Netflix - http://movies.netflix.com/movie/Bag-It/70153545), which contains some great facts and scenes.

Plastic could be a great story to tell. much of the plastic that we throw away winds up in the ocean where it breaks down into smaller pieces of plastic, which is then eaten by fish. As the plastic makes its way up the food chain, it eventually reaches human beings. The effects this plastic has on babies is linked to many adverse effects such as ADHD, autism, sterilization, and many others. This affects everyone.
