Midway. Message from the Gyre

The far reaching impact of man. No place and nothing is safe from this impact any longer. The conscious awareness that erupted in the 60's has had little effect to curtail such impact. Consumerism is what drives the modern day economy. It won't be long till we become the Albatross.

One of the most moving videos I have seen in a long time.

Chris, thanks for posting this. You were there on the spot, in a position to act with responsibility and humanity - and have done so. Well done.. and for this I call you friend.

Thanks Chris for your work.

Bonjour,

Si ces photos ne sont pas truquées nous sommes vraiment des enfants de Salop et ne méritons pas le nom d'Homme.
Au nom de tous ces Innocents que nous martyrisons, assassinons, à quand notre extermination de cette belle TERRE.

"And when she tried to cross the albatross,
A war was waged at such a cost,
Ac the end grew near,
It remained unclear,
just what was gained and who had lost."

That's awful...

Genau deshalb spende ich zu Weihnachten an den Bund Naturschutz. Und nicht an eine Organisation, deren Ziel es ist, noch mehr Menschen auf diesem Planeten durchzufüttern. Ich weiss, das klingt brutal. Aber Menschen sind nicht gerade von Aussterben bedroht. Viele Tiere schon. Ich bin da sehr pragmatisch.

Thank you Chris for your "art"... It has enlightened me and those images of those graceful birds being poisoned by man's ignorance, greed and selfishness will haunt my my mind forever. Beautiful yet extremely sad.

I saw this topic on 60 minutes several years ago. I am surprised it is still allowed on cruise ships.
I guess that can't have a landfill on a cruise ship, the passengers wouldn't stand for the smell. But they could lock up the trash in a container and have it removed when they get to port. But this cost more money, and for them to do it, means we the people have to demand it.
