  • Thank you for sharing.. I am looking for this.

  • Increasing beach clean up would help. We have guys sitting in jail working out on weights. Let them work a honest days work. We have to.

  • the oil industry must come DOWN!!!

  • this is disturbing in a good way. people need to see what their actions are doing. unfortunately most people dont care. most people want their microwave dinners and plastic grocery bags that they come in. the only way i could see this situation getting any better is to legislate the amount of plastic that is able to be produced in comparison to other more healthy options for our planet!

  • Plastic exists solely as a byproduct of the oil industry. Destroy the oil industry, and you destroy much of the plastic industry. Go electric..all the way... Generate this electricity with LFTR nuclear reactors (Google it) The technology is there, already. It just takes the political will.

  • i always for Earth Day buy a bottle of Roundup and spend the day spraying the rivers walks here....
