Today’s post is a re-hash of old news, updated to make us realize that we are approaching a Easter Island scenario with respect to our planet (for those who forgot, archeologists determined that human inhabitants destroyed all the trees on the island, basically making it impossible to have fuel for warmth and cooking.). Messing with the food chain in the oceans brings uninhabitable to a whole new scale.
Plastic in the oceans.
“It’s equal to five grocery bags per every foot of coastline around the globe, says new study.”
Micro plastic particles have been shown to disrupt the lowest forms in the oceanic food chain. Collapse of this life giving resource may be only 10 or 15 years away.
And if plastics weren’t bad enough, consider acidification of the oceans.
