This is a must visit (or revisit) web page, lest we forget how important our actions are and how important it is for us all to do something! We need to take action for ourselves and for those helpless creatures who are unfortunate enough to inhabit a world where humans act so carelessly in their treatment of the only planet we have.
Go, and watch the video clip too!

After spending time perusing this page I am reminded of a quote by Bill Bryson. The quote strikes to the core (my core at least).
"If you were designing an organism to look after life in our lonely cosmos, to monitor where it is going, keep a record of where it had been, [and take care of it] you would not choose human beings to do the job. But here is a very salient point, we have been chosen, by fate or providence or whatever you wish to call it. As far as we can tell we are the best there is, we may be all there is. It is an unnerving thought, we may be the universes supreme achievement and worst nightmare simultaneously."

I have a blog on reducing plastic but still I was horrified and touched by the video about the albatross on Midway. I definitely will post it on my blog, too. It is good to keep renewing that motivation to fight the throw away lifestyle.

that is so sad.

Yes it is a very powerful video! I think everyone should see it. Glad you both also found it to be profound.
