I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the "greenwashing" file: appliance maker Electrolux will manufacture some vacuums out of plastic harvested from these floating garbage islands.
Brynn: How many of those vacuums will Electrolux need to make to clean all of that plastic out of the ocean? Probably about 25 billion. Maybe they can make one huge vacuum to suck the oil out of the Gulf . . .
