big problem - big solution

The solution is to recycle and use the material on site, i.e at sea. My concept is to collect the materials - apparently mostly plastics, then while sailing toward New Guinea manufacture frames for giant (several acres) floating islands that can be seeded and sailed across the Pacific at the equator absorbing and sequestering massive amounts of carbon and heat. The pacific rim has a huge under employed fishing industry, and we are about to need a massive government program to put the worlds economy back to work - crisis / opportunity.
