One Word: Plastics

I just read an article about The Great Atlantic Plastic Patch.

A quote:

Since there is no realistic way of cleaning the oceans, advocates say the key is to keep more plastic out by raising awareness and, wherever possible, challenging a throwaway culture that uses non-biodegradable materials for disposable products.

"Our job now is to let people know that plastic ocean pollution is a global problem - it unfortunately is not confined to a single patch."

Here's food for thought for those of you who think it makes no difference if you use plastic disposable cups or plates. Or who buy items wrapped in layers of plastic. I'm out. It's time to start looking for items packaged differently. Think Sun Chips.
