Stopping it though seems to me impossible. People/companies/whole countries just don't care. They dump and toss it - out of sight, out of mind. The illegal dumping in the ocean and even on the shores of poorer countries makes me livid. I've seen the most horrible pictures of marine life trapped in it, dead from it and, like you say, cut open revealing just a mass of garbage. Human beings are the stupidest animals on the planet when it comes to destroying what sustains us.
