ReplyDeleteHi Britta,
ReplyDeleteyour website is very aesthetically pleasing and the topic is very interesting. I really like your use of videos and the gruesome pictures of the the dead birds are pretty fantastic. However, I feel like section on the plastic bag is unnecessary and could more appropriately be made into a side note because your real focus seems to be garbage in the oceans in general and this "Trash Island." I also feel that you need a bit more information that you write out on your own, instead of letting the information in the videos be the only source. I personally would like to read more about how the trash island is actually formed due to the water currents and I would like to read more about how to go about fixing the problem. I assume you are still trying to develop your ideas on a solution, it seems like a hard solution to come to, so I understand that it may not be fully developed yet, but I will be interested to see how you will strive to answer this problem.
Overall, neat thoughts and cool topic.
