Reduce, reuse, recycle.
1. If you never produce something, it won't end up in the oceans
2. If you don't throw away what you have, it won't end up in the oceans
3. If you really do have to throw it away, recycle it rather than throwing it in the ocean

As for what's already in there, get it out and make the polluters pay.

in theory yes, you should be able to melt and reform it since it's a thermoplastic not a thermoset, but there are so many varieties and additives that when you melt it, it just becomes this goopy slag shit.
I experiment with plastic recycling at home in my spare time and I've only really been successful with anything that will dissolve in gasoline or solvents available at a hardware store. I've tried some melts but they only work if I save up an amount of the exact same type of packaging material. Even if the resin ID codes all match they usually get fucked up. The next thing I want to try is batches in a pressure cooker with small amounts of solvent.

A) Don't worry about it. Plastic's main detriment is it's unsightly nature. It also breaks down so it's a matter of time.

B) Remove government regulations that make landfill creation expensive and waste incineration impossible. Throwing crap in the ground is an excellent way of disposing of it. Future civilizations will use our dumps as ore deposits.

Really if you just burn plastic, it's gone. Bottle the gas if your that scared. Government regulations wont save you though as there's no financial incentive behind upholding them.

If you want to take private capital and invest in creating a solar farm, go do it.

Bringing up a point on renewables, have you any idea of the levelized cost of electricity generated by onshore wind, solar and coal? I've seen 2 claims that solar lies around $50-70/MWh, both without sources. I find it difficult to believe this is the case, as if it were I'd expect we would've already seen widespread adoption of it by private companies.

Look at his rants on dysgenics. Interesting way to look at things. Makes sense that if dumb people have more kids than smart people, the next generation will be dumber. Repeat for all civilization maintaining traits.
The issue with the film Idiocracy is that without people smart enough to maintain the machines of complex civilization those machines will stop functioning.
It follows that if these dumb people rely on those machines, that they will begin to die off. Eventually you return to the dark ages, the dysgenic pressures are removed and replaced with more natural eugenic ones, and useful traits are again selected for.
Eventually you return to widespread complex civilization and it repeats.

Only way out of the cycle is eugenics. Artificially act against dysgenic selection pressures to prevent genetic decline during complex civilization.

We can't recycle the majority of plastic. In fact virtually all the plastic in the ocean can't be recycled, since it's damaged by UV and salt, even if it is in the 7 out of 50. The only way to make it useful is if we break it down by pyrolysis into chemicals which can then be remade into plastic, much like how we use oil to make plastic. Even then the plastic you make from it isn't great, it's still inferior to just making it from oil.

it is necessary to have a shared moral code so you can trust your neighbors not to murder you in your sleep. Before religion was a thing civilization wasn't possible. Right now, the government is what keeps your neighbors from murdering you, but if that went away for some reason, like say if the power goes out and stays out, then religion would be the only thing keeping you alive. You'd wish to hell everyone around you was religious. You're very murderable, you wouldn't last very long otherwise, unless you're very well armed I guess.

A moral code is personal and does not regulate anything. You are conflating morals with laws and prohibitions, which is symptomatic of someone who's mind has been twisted by a system of control like religions.
