The North Pacific Gyre and Garbage Island

Vice magazine is putting out some fantastic video journalism covering culture, lifestyle, politics, the environment, and other topics. I really look up to them for great inspiration. If you’ve met me, you’ll know that I believe video is really the new frontier for effective communication and story coverage. Print and the written word work well for many topics, but for some: “seeing is really believing”.

This 12 part series they produced is on the massive underwater trash mass, north of Hawaii. Each video is very concise and runs about 5 min. Here’s the series introduction:

Mario, you beat me to this story. My friend sent me that link and I was so addicted to watching this series as well as the trash series in the Philippines! Good work.
