Chris Jordan goes to Midway
Chris Jordan, speaker at the Gel 2006 conference, has just embarked on a new adventure: Journey to Midway. The three remote islands of Midway Atoll are near the Pacific Garbage Patch, which kills thousands of albatrosses and other birds who mistake the trash there for food.
Chris gave a great talk at Gel 2007 - watch the video - about visualizing the enormous amounts of trash that society creates. I'm looking forward to seeing what he'll create from this new project.

I'd love to go out there and see this huge mess we're all creating for myself one day.
