Paper Please.

Garbage has an effect on animals. It invades on their space. It chokes them. It ties them to things. It pollutes.

I was amazed when I saw the pictures of the Pacific Garbage Patch (shown at left). I had heard of it but I had never seen it until today.

Getting paper instead of plastic is easy. It’s even better to bring a bag. A lot of grocery stores are giving credit for bringing in your own bag. I live outside of Detroit and Kroger gives you 10 cents for every bag you bring in and Trader Joe’s puts you in a drawing to win prizes.

California is trying to pass a bill to ban single use plastic bags. Props to the sunshine state. You don’t have to live in Cali to show your support. Sign this petition and let’s start a trend.

Save the oceans

We all want clean water and we all want less dependency on foreign countries for oil. We all want less dependency on oil in general for that matter.

That is why I am posting this link. Three innovative people/companies have been given a chance to devise a plan to minimize off shore drilling. The winner gets a grant. It protects our oceans. If our oceans are protected than so are the countless species in the oceans. It’s the least we can do for our fish. They don’t pollute our area, let’s stop polluting theirs.

The ideas are summed up in a paragraph (you can view the whole presentation if you want). You can’t make the wrong choice. All of them will help us, the oceans, and everything in them. Check it out and vote. It takes less than 5 minutes to read and vote.
