Plastic in the oceans.

[serafaery]

A 7-minute video by Capt. Charles Moore, Marine researcher, on the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" and other plastic that proliferates our oceans.

I will think of dead albatross chicks the next time I go to buy a soda or water with a plastic, non-recyclable cap.

There is no hope of cleanup. Straining the oceans of plastic would be too large a project for any nation, and would kill too much wildlife in the process.

...

I think our age will be seen as a dark age, if humans survive it. A terrible, destructive, careless and barbaric time in our history.

Kinda makes me want to smoke and drink myself to death, like my dad did. I think I'm more like him than I am like my grandmother. Despite mom's convictions.

a great alternative is glass bottles with metal caps, old-time style. you can even find coke in those; they have 'em at cracker barrel 'cause they're nostalgia-inducing.

and omg how much do i love my sigg water bottle? i cannot count the ways.
