It's too late anyways. We are already going to reap the results of how we have treated the environment.

You call it green idiocy, I say ever little bit helps.

Why people think less trash in the land fills is a bad thing I will never understand.

These are the people who throw trash out their car windows.

Some places outlawed paper sacks in an effort to save trees

but plastic is a problem in the oceans

why not biodegradable plastic instead?

No question Plastics are a problem.The further one digs into the
evils of Plastic the more concerned about their health they'll be.
But we've known about Plastics and their inherent dangers since
the 60's.I just heard a doctor who advises about eating and health
that plastic cookware { especially in a microwave } can and will lead to
health problems.Our bodies can detect it.But like many things Advertisers
could care less.Like Doctors Overprescribing Meds for High Blood Pressure.
It's more than a mere cottage industry.It's what taught in Med School.
Just stop and think about Garbage.That's the easiest way to understand.
Because we see garbage cans full each week on our streets.
Not a week will go by that one won't hear or see a Garbage Truck.So ...
Where does all the garbage go.Buring it will merely create huge pollution
problems.Poisons of who knows what type being released in the atmosphere.
Dumping Garbage far out into the Ocean will have an effect.No way it can't.
Like how does Tuna become toxic.
Compacting plastic may help.May not.In the end there are no Good
answers.

There was Movie made years ago I rented.I should have tried to purchase
a copy.A Movie starring the popular actress Julianna Moore.Brilliant
portrayal in - Hannibal - { 2001 } which had one of the most shocking
scenes in movie Filmdom.
However her movie portrayal - Safe - { 1995 } was far more pertinent and
Real-life.She plays a woman who becomes obsessed over all the pollution
she can see and feel in daily life.It's unavoidable.Especially when living in a big
Urban city and driving to work.But then it's almost impossible to escape once
one knows the dangers of all the chemicals being used in Household
and kitchen cleaners.So she slowly decides to make a Life Choice.
She must vacate society as much as possible.Live a sheltered existence,
away from all those pollutants that invade urban life and cannot be avoided.
The Movie in a way is more terrifying than most Vile Horror movies.
because it's Real and unavoidable.Most of society doesn't even have a clue.
