Al Jazeera: Foreign rubbish choking Okinawa
Japan's pristine southern beaches are being threatened by wave upon wave of foreign intruders - rubbish of all sorts from neighbouring countries. "The amount of rubbish that is building up on many of the islands in the Okinawa group is very worrying," said Hareyuki Yamaguchi, a professor at the National Defence Academy. "I cannot emphasise enough how serious the pollution problem is becoming, and that is a change I have seen in the space of less than 10 years
"Typically the rubbish that we find falls into several distinct categories: There are the styrofoam buoys, rope, fishing nets, oil drums and plastic sheeting that are from fishing boats; plastic bottles, tin cans, light bulbs and other forms of domestic rubbish - including heavy items such as TVs and refrigerators - and then hospital waste like used syringes and medicine bottles." From labels and other marks that his team have been able to identify, about 10% of the trash is Japanese and 30% is Korean. The remaining 60% bears Chinese characters, meaning it has come from Taiwan, Hong Kong or the Chinese mainland.

When taking the Slow-Boat-to-China (Kobe to Shanghai ferry) the first thing you notice is floating trash in the water waaaaay out of sight of land. Open water in the East China Sea looks like a landfill drifting for a home. Eight hours before sighting the China coast, the color of the ocean water changes to vile puke yellow-reddish brown caused by the Yangzi River.

With all the polluting mankind has done to the enviroment, I would'nt be shocked at all if mother nature got sick of our shit and spawned some weird ass monster or monsters to kick our asses .
