Plus it looks dreadful.
Snapped this photo at Yokohama yesterday. Lots of plastic bags in the water.
“Be fantastic, say no to plastic!”

This post for my ”Blog Action Day” that I mentioned a few days ago. I have made a donation to Morsbags - a non-profit, social, guerilla, grassroots community devoted to reducing the use of plastic bags due to the impact on the environment.

    I’ve literally taken the Slow-Boat-to-China(tm) several times from Japan. The entire time of my two and half day trips to Shanghai, the open ocean had plastic bags gayly festooning the gray water, meh.

    Studies have shown there are 6 times more plastic debris in the ocean than there is plankton.  Plastic bits break off into small pieces the same size as plankton and large fish have more plastic in their bellies than ever before.  Sounds pretty gross if you ask me.

    That is awful...I saw other things about Oceans of plastic and I was in disbelief. Whether it’s an mmorpg community or green community people need to band together and voice their opinions/interests/beliefs.
