If you have any question about who is responsible for the mess plastics have (and continue to make) of our environment, please take 8 minutes out of your day and watch the video posted here of a presentation given by Captain Charles Moore. It's fascinating in its scale and horrifying in its consequences. The time for reflection has past, the time for action among all responsible people is now.
It is easy to blame the plastics industry, Big Brother, the greed of capitalism/consumerism or just that thoughtless "other guy". The fact is we all have a hand in distributing the plastic material that ultimately collects in places it was never intended to be; even by the most shortsighted litterbug.
View this video and you WILL be moved to make personal changes to do your small part to work toward a more sustainable consumer mindset.
