Garbage babies

Midway is an atoll, in the Pacific ocean, in the middle of nowhere. I first came to know of this island, from WWII stories as pacific based used by both Japanese and US to fight the war. Today the island offers another global perspective. The video below is self explanatory.



One would think how can an action here affect something 2000 miles away. Well here is proof it does. We are all interconnected on this planet, in one way or another. We have an oppurtunity to save this earth we live.

If only we try.

Great Pacific Garbage Patch

One of pet peeves, stop dumping. Re-use, recycle, and refuse plastic and other products that cause waste.

If you havent already heard about one of the largest garbage dumps in the world, take a look at the animation below (thanks to GreenPeace).


Try the option 'The Journey of Trash', an animated presentation of how trash from the coast collects to form this great garbage patch, in the Pacific Ocean.
