I began talking with people who actually had been out to the gyre and were studying the plastic problem in the marine environment and upon doing so, I realized actually that cleaning it up would be a very small drop in the bucket relative to how much is being generated every day around the world, and that actually I needed to back up and look at the bigger picture.
Počela sam razgovarati s ljudima koji su već isplovili do vrtloga i izučavali problem plastike u morskom okružju. Učinivši to, zapravo sam shvatila da bi čišćenje bila tek sićušna kap u moru u odnosu na količinu otpada koja se svakodnevno stvara u svijetu te da se zapravo trebam vratiti i sagledati problem iz šireg kuta.
