 wildcat says: Even so, this polluted, chemical filled junk is finding it’s way onto our dinner tables. This is almost frustrating...  O thought about it, I take back the 'almost'... horrible! This is one of those things everybody should be aware of. I found this article on the same subject quite enlightening (with very powerful photographs). There is much more money to be made in trying to battle a naturally occurring gas in the atmosphere that may or may not be having some long term effect on the climate that may or may not be bad for the world as a whole than there is cleaning up this mess that is definitely bad and definitely causing long and short term harm to the world as a whole. Indeed, the human race has really made its mark Jean-Michel Cousteau teamed up with PBS and other groups to make a fantastic documentary that included a section on these floating ocean debris islands. If you can rent, borrow or purchase this documentary, I think you will be fascinated. The entire documentary series covered a wide range of topics, including areas for improvement, but much of the documentary related to the magnificence and diversity in the Pacific Ocean, in and around Hawaii.

It seems that this whale meat is sold for human consumption after their research. That rem... I agree! Every voice makes a difference. Maybe even a HUGE difference. Here's a clip about it, by debbyski. http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/80E2238B-7922-40BF-9C05-9E2BC2C91B60/ POP! for that clip!

Charles Moore who sailed thru this plastic mess, I passed it onto some of my friends and we got into a discussion (after the disbelief of a Texas sized island of plastic)) about recycling and all the plastic bags we just toss and many of them have changed their habits and thanked me for the heads up. ..All because I read a clip here.
