California in the worst drought in more than 100 years

More than 63,000 pounds of trash.
That's what a cleanup team recovered in a monthslong effort to chip away at the so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive collection of marine debris plaguing the Pacific Ocean.
A half-mile long trash-trapping system named "Jenny" was sent out in late July to collect waste, pulling out many items that came from humans like toothbrushes, VHS tapes, golf balls, shoes and fishing gear.
Jenny made nine trash extractions over the 12-week cleanup phase, with one extraction netting nearly 20,000 pounds of debris by itself.
The mountain of recovered waste arrived in British Columbia, Canada, this month, with much of it set to be recycled.
The catalyst behind the cleaning is The Ocean Cleanup, a nonprofit trying to rid the world's oceans of plastic.
Boyan Slat, who founded the organization in 2013 at the age of 18, called the most recent testing phase a success, but said there's still much to be done.

Wow. The fact that you're nitpicking over which country pollutes the most suggests to me that you don't care about Earth.

Er, since the Asians threw all that trash into the ocean, shouldn't they have to clean it up?
Or would that be "racist?"

It is not a nitpick, dumb ass. It is a fact and one that fools like you often ignore. The reason that fact is important is because if you want to actually solve the problem then you have to deal with the source. Which is several hundreds of millions Asians dumping all their trash into it daily.
You don't even think about things like that, do you? You just don't have a logical mind, huh? It is all just feelings and emotions with you and no thinking.

Did they send the gooks a bill yet? I swear, white motherfuckers wiping the worlds ass as usual.
So, did Asians throw the trash into the Atlantic Ocean? We're talking about a matter of degrees here. Who threw in more. It's not like the US didn't throw in any. Have you ever walked along a beach in the US? It has nothing to do with racism, you fucking little whingy cuck.
No, nitpicking while the planet is being trashed is reprehensible. EVERYONE needs to help, and no one should wait for others to go first. BTW, the kid who created and is funding that ship that cleans up the plastic is not American. He's Dutch. So fuck the fuck off with your American whinging. It's pathetic.
Of course I think about things like that, you fool. What makes you think I don't? But you're acting like a 2-year-old. Waaaaahhhhhhh!!!! I won't pick up MY toys because Johnny hasn't picked up his.

Well that's good for you guys isn't it?
Do they have a way to store this water?
They should.
Use it later to irrigate the crops etc.
Save it for the dry days etc.

Guess that's why they're trying to get rid of plastic. Because they're filling up the oceans and destroying their ecosystems.

Up until the very early 1970's cities like NYC did through trash into the Atlantic but that has been illegal for almost half a century. If you want to solve this current problem you need to get Asians to do the same.
A lot of trash ends up in the oceans off US coastlines, whether it is directly thrown there or not. I never said Asian countries shouldn't do something. Neither should the US act as if it has nothing to do with the patches. That's absurd.
The U.S. generated a staggering 42 million metric tons of plastic waste in 2016 — more than any other country in the world, according to the analysis.
Up to 2.2 million metric tons of this waste ended up in the ocean. If piled on the White House lawn, it “would soar as high as the Empire State Building,” said Leonard.
A by the same research group ranked the U.S. as the 20th-biggest contributor to ocean plastic, but they considered littering the sole source of this pollution. Including two other sources of pollution — illegal dumping and waste that’s shipped abroad for recycling, but ultimately ends up in the environment — the new study boosts the U.S. to third place for worst plastic-polluting nations.

Whining doesn't have a "g" in it. Write AP American and stop trying to be pretentious.
As for all the plastic trash in the oceans, I agree it is a problem. I blame Third Worlders, of course.
