Maine Debris Affects Us All

"Marine debris ... is a symptom of our throwaway society and our approach to how we use our natural resources. It affects every country and every ocean, and shows us in highly visible terms the urgency of shifting toward a low-carbon, resource-efficient, green economy." quote from Achim Steiner, executive director of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) at the 5th International Marine Debris Conference.
