A report on the efforts to clean up the Great Pacific garbage patch, a vortex of plastic refuse in the ocean; and the devastating effects of plastic garbage on the wildlife on Midway Atoll. With only three ways of disposing of plastic available -- put it in a landfill, burn it or recycle it -- much of it ends up in rivers and streams, turning oceans into a vast garbage dump. Dutchman Boyan Slat has proposed a cleanup device that will skim and corral the ocean’s plastic for removal, but it has been met with skepticism and challenges. Meanwhile, the real life effects of the overload of plastic has proven fatal to the colony of Laysan albatross that mistakenly eat this hazardous debris. Includes interviews with: Boyan Slat, founder, Oceanic Cleanup; Denise Hardesty, research scientist for the Australian government; Susan Freinkel, science writer; Roland Geyer, environmental scientist, University of California; Amanda Boyd, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Kevin O’Brien, National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration; Kelly Goodale, biologist U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Water is a vital element of our planet and all that inhabit it. However, this essential resource has been poorly-managed, wasted and polluted for centuries by all mankind. We use it in the far corners of the world to supply our factories, take away our waste, wash ourselves, travel, or even simply for enjoyment. We are becoming increasingly aware that any water unfit for consumption that returns to the environment is inextricably linked to the water we consume. Even if we in the developed world are managing to clean our used water, in poor countries water which is fit for consumption is all too often an inaccessible resource, even a privilege.
