Suddenly I don't want anything to do with plastic products.

"A vast swath of the Pacific, twice the size of Texas, is full of a plastic stew that is entering the food chain. Scientists say these toxins are causing obesity, infertility...and worse"

There is everything wrong with the fact that this pile of trash exists. And even worse, there is more than one in the world.

I don't even know where to begin with a solution. But cutting back on the use of plastic seems like a good place to start. Everything doesn't need to be made out of plastic, I know I prefer the glass coke bottles to the plastic ones. Maybe some mandatory recycling programs are needed. I just hope something changes other wise the world 20 years from now could be a nasty place to live.

Adam Fortuna's Gravatar It's pretty scary stuff that something that huge could happen with so little public action taken. Have you ever read "The World Without Us"? It's an amazing book that goes into this topic a little, as well as a lot of other interesting looks at what would happen if humans just vanished.
