EU To Pay Fishermen to Catch Plastic Trash

Makes sense.

There's another link in the chain that needs attention. Some countries and municipalities believe that dumping at sea is acceptable practice. This "exporting" of trash needs to be stopped first.

Please also refer back to http://cr4.globalspec.com/comment/214117/Re-Plastic-Plastic-Everywhere where it was hinted some years ago that "this plastic might soon be worth mining."

The old saying might be true. "One man's trash is another man's treasure."
