amen! i'm so sick of everything being disposable nowadays. people are either too busy or too lazy or they just don't care about the environment enough to be inconvenienced and we all pay for it. i think it's so awful.

I bought a bunch of those reusable grocery bags from the grocery store I work at. Not only do I get to help the environment but I save 5 cents for each bag I bring in and use. I gotta say, I was thinking of this article when I bought them.

We should melt it all together to form a plastic/trash island and keep it exactly where it is, make it our new Alcatraz.
