"We jump ... because we've all come from different places. We all have different stories to tell, and we've walked different paths to get here - here to this very moment - to let them out.  And with the different tonality, varying cadence, and unique rhythm that is our own voice... we open our minds to the possibility that perhaps, in these unknown soldiers who've come to stand at your side, that you might finally find harmony.  And that will move the world.

We jump for the expedition to come." -South Atlantic Gyre Team, 5 Gyres

Gyres are the circulating currents in the ocean in which plastic trash accumulates. These "islands" of trash are enormous (e.g., the North Pacific Gyre spans twice the size of the United States) and there are 5 major Gyres in different areas of the world.
