I am sure some of the high performance plastics could be found in the debris as well. Torlon, I am sure the ocean isn’t picky about what types of plastics it takes.

Or is it full of the consumer waste plastics such as Polyethylene Plastic and the like?

We are doing a hydropondic garden this winter indoors and guess what everything is made of, darn plastic!!! I was aware that we use too much plastic in our society but now that I am hyper focused on it, it is really sad to see so much waste. Good argument to move to the middle of no where and stop buying stuff thats for sure. @Mitesh: As Adam said, you should use canvas or other reusable bags when you shop. Here is a tip we are using to make sure use them, because I know it is hard to remember to bring them. Once we empty them from the store I walk back to my car and put them in there. Also if they are not in there, than I don't buy my entire list only things that are needed right than. @Neena: Instead of throwing them out maybe you can donate the toys? And yes I think you are right that we should probably not accept them in the first place and tell our children why. I am sure it will be hard at first though, but I think long term it is a good idea. Infact after reading this article and through the research I've been doing I'm wondering about all my kids plastic toys and plus all those recalls!
