I live in Cape Cod, I’m going to avoid buying or throwing away anything made of plastic.

Hear hear, these things need to be talked about so the awareness is raised and people wuill do something about it.

I have just started a blog which will have a section devoted to how many of the soft lures used for sea fishing, and fresh water fishing, have a toxic chemical make up which is released as they break down.

Unfortunately there are many tons of these lures lost by fisherment in the sea, lakes and rivers every year.

We wouldn’t need Government legislation with regard to CO & C02 emissions if we could just get people to clean up their act.

There was a story recently about a young New Zealand couple who made a concerted effort to not throw away any non-recycleable rubbish for a year. At the end of the year they had less than 1/2 a household garbage bin on rubbish to dispose of.

It can be done if we think harder about what we are doing.

I live in Washington DC and find it amazing, how few people know about this critical issue. When I learned of the Pacific Gyre I was so horrified I totally changed career paths.
