The tragedy that no one sees…
Chris Jordan, an amazing photographer of visual statistics, ventured to Midway Atoll and created a six-minute video depicting baby albatross that have died from ingesting plastic debris. Our waste is ending up on these very remote places and having an unfortunate, lasting impact. Sadly, not many people see this problem and like a lot of…
No Plastic Straw, Please.
My previous post was all about inspiration and getting out of the sea of bad news that seems to surround us on a day-to-day basis. For Earth Day 2011, here’s one of the things I’m doing to take action and be optimistic about our future: writing a letter to a restaurant in my area, asking…
