I think human beings are simply isane and we do not know what we are doing????????
We simply are out of control and not good stewards of aything.....and we are caught in it......
It is so hard now with everything in plastic -plastic bags -plastic drink cotainer -plastic plastic.....I have tried my darndest to get away from plastic and still there is plastic everywhere.......so sad.......but if it isn't plastic it is a thousand other things....did you see the article on tons of phamasueticals being dumped into our water supply.

I just don't get it...oh yeah making the big bucks....!!!!!

I have lived in Santa Cruz for many years now and when I first came here and for many years after that no one littered on the beaches...today I can go down to just te little beach at the end of my block and fill up several bags with trash including glass.......I never have seen so many dead seals and sea birds either.

I know! It got to me too! After just swimming with them in Hawaii and feeling connected to Turtle medicine, when I saw that I cried. It's horrible!

That is very sad to hear about the trash on Santa Cruz beaches getting worse. The consciousness needs to be raised NOW in so many people. The place that I used to work has a smoking section with an ashtray provided. There were so many times that I watched people drop their butts right on the ground when they were a mere 2 feet away from the ashtray. I don't get this at all! I would comment to the person, "The ashtray is right there! Why don't you pick it up and quit littering the ground?" They just blinked at me as if I were speaking Russian to them ( ... )

Did you know that computers are one of the biggest poluntents to the environment-but ou hardly ever see anything about it.

Yes, our technology needs to take our ecology into effect for sure.

I just saw this website from Matt though, which makes me happy.

Its not about computer clean up, alas, but a crew from SF going out to survey and start to try and clean up the trash island in the Pacific. It sure sounds like a lot of people on the west coast are stepping up as stewards of our planet. It is a nice trend to hear about.
