Plastics in the ocean (the numbers)

I've written about this subject many... many times. If you read one of my tomes on this subject make it this one.I hear about this issue multiple times a day, every day. It's a massive issue. It requires large-scale cultural rewiring (to understand this one in a sentence... our addition to plastics is causing us to do the equivalent of soiling our own home).
So in a sense, this isn't a new subject.
It's mainstream.
It's Oprahstream.
Cites as large as Mexico City have bans around single-use plastics... heck, even China (the self-contained metaphor for the future) has a single-use plastic ban.
What caught my eye this time around was this graphic from a recent Surfline piece. The graphic is to the left and does a nice job of illustrating the chain and the scope.
The article around this graphic is solid as well, that article is here, do check it out.
