Recycling Plastic: The Facts You Should Know

[Josh687]

If you have heard about the Plastic Continent -- the floating island of plastic twice the size of Texas in the Pacific Ocean -- then you understand how crucial it is to recycle plastic. Right now, only 5% of plastics worldwide are recycled. Some of this is ignorance: most of the world still simply doesn't understand the danger plastics pose to our environment and our food chain.

It's scary isn't it. I recently saw some documentary and plastic fragments were found pretty much eveywhere in the oceans(plural !) down to some insane depth like 2km.It was found in crustacae, well in the food chain.
How can consumerism be stopped ?

Apparently this is mostly true despite the fact its a spam. Kind of scary..

The plastic is difficult to be broken down, so we should be good for recycling plastic, to protect our environment!

But on the plus side: When the sea levels rise, we can all move on to it on hope it floats us somewhere hot.

[Ian Price]

Indeed. And if the trees ever run out we'll have loads of stuff we can turn into cups to drink cheap cups of coffee out of.

Right, I'm off to put a flag on it and claim it as my own independant state. I'm going to have my own money with a picture of my face arse on it and everything.
