Question: What is wrong with this picture?
Answer: It was taken in a Mobile waterway.
Why are the oceans filling up with plastic?
Because cities like Mobile use their precious waterways as garbage dumps
while having absolutely no remorse at all for polluting their waterways and ignoring it.
Where is ADEM? Where is the EPA?
In my camera's eye, there is no federal "Clean Water Act" enforced in Mobile or Alabama.
If there was, someone would be removing the floating waterway pollution regularly.
If plastic trash is not removed and recycled or properly disposed of,
it does not go away - it only moves around until it becomes microscopic in size.
These are all photos taken today while kayaking.
Earth is the Spaceship humans live on. What happens on Earth stays on Earth.
Humans need to accept responsibility at the local level
and control the amount of plastic that is propelled into our spaceship's waterways . . .
. . . at least until scientists understand the consequences of what putting
a dense layer of plastic across all the oceans will have on our spaceship.
Could global amounts of plastic be causing global warming
from absorbing the Sun's energy across the vast oceans?
Could global amounts of plastic be causing global amounts of obesity
through endocrine gland altering BPA or other unknown plastic chemicals
being allowed to rot in our spaceships water supply?
