I'll be honest. Again.
First thing I thought of when I saw all those little tiny pieces of plastic? Gee, nature seems to be pretty good at breaking down things after all.
Yeah its pretty weird that a little fishy has pieces of plastic in it.
Or that a bird mistakes a round bottle cap for food. What do you expect from a bird if not a bird brain?
Just because something is plastic and ugly doesn't make it toxic. It just makes it plastic and ugly, rather than nonplastic and ugly like, say a slug or a paraitic wasp.
And why should we care about the plankton/plastic ratio. Now if there's less plankton, I understand that could be a problem. But what if it's just the same amount of plankton playing around in water with some extra [strike]goldfish bowl toys [/strike] pieces of plastic?
Sorry, Diane, but the only thing that made sense in your mini-rant was the glance you gave us of you fondling your knee.
I hate shitty journalism. And I especially hate shitty, emotion-pulling journalism on science topics.
What can I say. I'm an asshole.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
