Humans Are Really Crapping Things Up

Maybe I'm a bit early for Earth Day, but you know what pisses me off? That we have something called a "Trash Vortex": http://www.canada.com/technology/science/ocean+garbage+quite+literally/1194398/story.html?id=1194398

Seriously:
  • 98 per cent of dead seabirds studied in northern Europe have plastic in their stomachs.
  • more than 260 animal species are known to eat or get entangled in plastic, including turtles, fish, marine mammals, even small creatures like mussels, barnacles and beach fleas.
  • 10 per cent of all plastic debris eventually winds up in the sea.
This shit has to stop. Destroying everything ain't cool.
