If you believe in this trash island so much, then why you still have the nerve to eat fish if the island is twice the size of Texas. I thought they would be contaminated! All these ''green'' guys do is go out into the ocean for a couple weeks and get 1 piece of plastic and exaggerate and say there is a whole island of garbage. No wonder nobody goes ''green'', because these ''green'' freaks never show real proof, all they show is a little piece of something that nobody cares about since it is so small! Stop the saying ''go green'' if you are not going to show us some real proof other than a little piece and show some stupid graphs and have no photos or proof! Really ”greenguys”?

Yes, the man is eating bacon; and perhaps he's not acting as environmentally sustainable as maybe you for example. But he's opening my eyes for one to the issue, and influencing others to think twice about what they purchase and what they do with their garbage. I think that should be encouraged, not chastised. After all, while his personal decisions affect others, the decisions are still his - and I commend him for the good ones, like bringing this to my attention. @neva and Ari,

When in fact, they are intertwined. Farming of animals is brutal to other beings we share this planet with and has brutal impacts on the Earth. Rydaca's comments show what happens when someone lives in magical thinking - rather than becoming part of the solution, they have to attack someone who tries to shed reality on this make believe rationale - Park, talking about sustainability as you look at your bacon wrapping is like saying you've joined a car pool in a Hummer. There's so many more ways we can be part of the solution - thanks, Neva for suggesting this truth.
