Charles Moore Sailing the great Pacific Garbage patch

I just watched this presentation, its in the where to from here resources on the wiki. If youre finding this whole sustainability thing interesting definately give this a jam its so interesting. It is a guy talking about mainly plastics and recycling and just how much we are doing that is damaging to the environment with plastic, i found the section on plastic bottle lids particularly eye opening, the fact that bottles with their lids still on are found on opposite sides of the world from where they originate becuase of the type of plastic it is made from, one which is non recyclable alike its bottle and floats because its made up of a different compound, the graphics he shows are pretty blunt, the turtle with a plastic ring around it, something it has just "come to live with",and the death of all the albotross because they accidentaly eat things like bottle lids.
I hate how man created this back in the 60's with the disposable living idea, man mankind is dumb! we are completely interrupting and destroying the environment and our surroundings and we accept that everything else should "learn to live" with the outcomes of our actions, somethings definately gotta change. very interesting it also gave me some handy things i think to say in my diary cam now for the recycling and packaging days
