I began talking with people who actually had been out to the gyre and were studying the plastic problem in the marine environment and upon doing so, I realized actually that cleaning it up would be a very small drop in the bucket relative to how much is being generated every day around the world, and that actually I needed to back up and look at the bigger picture.
我同那些曾去过 垃圾环流带的人们谈过， 他们也曾研究过塑料污染对海洋环境的污染， 交谈之后， 我开始意识到海上清理塑料 相比起 全球每天产生塑料的生产量 就如大海捞针一样， 我必须回过头想想，要展望更大的蓝图。
