Bag It!!!

I recently watched a very profound documentary on plastic called 'Bag It'. It talks about how we are struggling to deal with the waste of plastic, the problems we are  facing with global consumerism and the health effects of using plastic in our foods. Although its delivery and presentation was ok, the underlying story and information was fantastic. I would strongly advise purchasing this DVD, albeit an expensive one, and give your support to the works of this organisation. As usual the link is above.

The North Pacific Gyre

I have recently been reading about some issues regarding plastic and general waste. During my search I found the above expression, the north pacific gyre. I was shocked at what I discovered.  

This is a huge area in the north pacific ocean that has accumulated a huge volume of trash, mostly plastic as it does not biodegrade. Check out the link above for more information, it's scary stuff.
