Go and read this story, its awefull.
there is about 100 million tons of debris floating, drifting, and swirling in the Pacific Ocean approximately 500 miles off the coast of California, stretching past the Hawaiian Islands, and extending almost to Japan.
The discovery of The Great Pacific Garbage Patch led Mr. Moore to become an environmental activist. He has recently warned consumers that if we do not cut back on our use of disposable plastics, this plastic soup will likely double in size over the next ten years
All quoted from the organic consumers association.
Ive really been trying to ween plastic out of our lives. Ive gotten glass storage dishes, I try to not buy anything in plastic, thats a hard one though. All kris's old cups are gone and recycled. So sad that its come to this, the poor ocean. I hope they can clean up that soupy mess.
