“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Henderson Island is part of the Pitcairn Islands group, a British dependency. It is so remote that Lavers said she missed her own wedding after the boat coming to collect the group was delayed.Luckily, she said, the guests were still in Tahiti, in French Polynesia, when she showed up three days late, and she still got married.Lavers said she is so appalled by the amount of plastic in the oceans that she has taken to using a bamboo iPhone case and toothbrush.“We need to drastically rethink our relationship with plastic,” she said. “It’s something that’s designed to last forever, but is often only used for a few fleeting moments and then tossed away.”Melissa Bowen, an oceanographer at the University of Auckland in New Zealand who was not involved in the study, said that winds and currents in the gyre cause the buildup of plastic items on places like Henderson Island.“As we get more and more of these types of studies, it is bringing home the reality of plastic in the oceans,” Bowen said.
