The answer to the plastics problem is recycling and reuse. Plastics don't pollute...people pollute.

Mother Earth tries to get rid of the invested virus that plagues her. She even sends out many diseases like the Bird Flu. This Failed. So the movie "Is it Really Happening", killing off human is actually consider a Good Ending in the contrary{D

I'm promoting unplastic Green bags -NOT polyethelene-the crap sea turtles mistake 4favorite food, jellyfish. Biobag is veg-resin, sinks, no floating nurdles, can pass through fish etc.without DEATH...victims of swallowing and suffocating from undigestable plastic, doesn't solve the toothbrushe,'trinket', water, product bottles packaging, etc-Green Plastics! Boo to petro-polyethelene-we have the tech, can be replaced with veg-resins. youtube - biobagusa - soon! Read Green Plastics! by Stevens.

Please read and contribute to the Wikipedia article entitled "Marine debris".We'd love to have some input from experts. It's a great way to educate and raise awareness of this environmental disaster!

There is a plastic garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean that now covers the size of the continent of Africa. If the production, consumption and waste of plastics continues at the present rate, this patch will double in size in ten years. Plastics are also sponges for extremely toxic substances such as DDT. Organisms consume the marine plastic, thinking it is food, fish eat the organisms, and so on up the food chain. This problem is one of the most pressing environmental concerns today. |
