For some definitions of "huge". Despite all the press about it, there isn't really all that much plastic out there.

For comparison there's at least 1,000 times as much biomass grown per year as there is plastic produced per year.

Not exactly reassuring. That's "huge" by pretty much any definition!

Yah, on further consideration that is pretty huge.

My numbers are off however, my figure for biomass production is only the weight of the carbon. I can't seem to find numbers for total production.

Especially since the majority of the weight of a plant is in the water - which has no carbon.
