Folks, when you are shopping at the supermarket, please do not forget: Avoid plastics as much as possible. Take a green (e.g., Sisal) shopping bag to the grocery store.

Or at least, knowing how damn hard or nearly impossible is to avoid them in our Plasticocene age, make sure your plastics get recycled or what you shop is wrapped in biodegradable plastic which should also undergo recycling. 

Check the company that does the plastic recycling job in your neighbourhood, for some of these trash pickup businesses tell people they recycle plastics but take them to a dump instead!

Midway Island (Video 1) is a painful reminder of our plastic mess. Please watch this clip once again. This is a nasty indirect result of our addiction to plastics.
