The Weisman chapter is so troubling. I am so horrified, I wish every plastic consumer was forced to read this. The fact that the plastic is so small as to be called powder-like is so scary...what implications will this have? What it all comes down to his this disgusting consumerism, that is a problem in any country with wealth. We have to stop buying and bring down the demand, it seems as though that is our only option.
The Roston article was very good. It was a little to scientific for my mind at times, but it was enjoyable regardless. I liked reading about Smilley, it was a great way to talk about global warming, by showing just how credible this guy is.
Fabric bags? Want to have a sew-in?
ReplyDeleteBags are one small piece of the puzzle. Everything has plastic in it. Only when we stop buying it, will it stop being made. I like your sense that it has to do with consuming, rather than only the material.
