"A picture speaks a thousand words". These pictures speak volumes.
We as nature photographers have the responsibility to get these beautiful pictures of ugliness to the masses. To all humans contributing to the problem. Start showing pictures as these to your family, to your friends and ask for help to stop this. It all starts with us.
I'm not sure how copyright laws can be met by putting these images on your phone, iPOD, iPad to share with those you meet and talk with, but these powerful images need to be shared and discussed by us to our friends (and enemies).
These images are extremely powerful and get people to think about personal responsibility to reduce and eliminate the problem of plastic pollution and using our oceans as trash dumps.
Maybe a international gallery tour showing the contrast of untouched reefs and the approaching death by human pressures from pollution, overfishing and industrial "progress". Have this tour in major cosmopolitan centers and get local promotion and media publicity to distribute and focus on the issues and what people can do themselves to reduce and fight the "slow" death of our earth (with celebrities as James Cameron etc. Even tonight's award show honored Micheal Jackson's message of taking care of our earth).
Our images need to speak and communicate our individual responsibilities and lifestyle options to minimize any impact to the survival of all living creatures on the planet, including our own. But it starts with "the man in the mirror".
