Plastic a blight upon the Earth

By now many of you have heard of the Great Garbage Gyre(GGG)  is a huge are of garbage twice the area of Texas floating in the Pacific.  This floating garbage island is a eyesore and  ecological catastrophe.  Marine life is being negatively affected.   The plastic as it breaks down to its' smallest molecule is still plastic meaning that it biologically incompatible with life on a positive level.  There are arguments raging through the scientific community on how how the plastics molecule imitates reproductive hormones giving reason to believe that plastic could be responsible for the rapid rise in testicular and breast cancers.  Plastic is also associated with sexual mutations in animals.  It is well document that marine life are  killed by various  forms of garbage and plastic being one of the largest contributers.  Remember the Nalgene water bottle scare?  Heated water bottles made with rated 3 plastic released the toxic bdp a known carcinogen.

Others have raised concerns about the effect of feminizing hormones on men, such as breast enlargement or dropping semen counts. At the same time, sport water bottles are ubiquitous and we don't want people going back to buying bottled water. What should you do? Time to nix the Nalgene? We looked at our past posts and the latest reports, and suggest the following.

We know that we to make change now! What can we do?
