The Gazetteer
'All one can do is try.' Pete Seeger
Saturday, May 17, 2008
We Are The World.....
....We Are The Plastic.
Pale from the very fine 'A Creative Revolution' has the
story
:
The eastern Garbage patch.
Bigger than the size of Texas. A Leviathan, with no head, and no tail. An endless sea of trash out in the pacific.
When I tell people about it, they look at me kind of puzzled like, and ask....."Well why don't they just send some boats out to clean it up?" Another question: "Well, if it's that big, why aren't there photos of it?"
The reasons, it can't just be scooped up or photographed, are worse than you can imagine.
This is stuff that matters.
OK?
