Why Reduce, Re-use and Recycle?

I am just going to link to these photographs and not display them. They are of deceased Albatrosses in the North Pacific. I'm actually being serious. The link is here, but read the rest of this before you click on it. What killed these young albatrosses is that they ate garbage. They were fed garbage because in the polluted oceans where their mothers look for food for them, they see bits of colored plastic and other detritus and think they are food. So the pictures are of decaying albatross bodies but with a clearly visible, non-decaying mashup of human garbage inside their gullets. It's super sad.







That's how I roll.
