Plastic in the oceans.
Feb. 25th, 2009 09:14 pmA 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.
