For all the good it does, why bother?

I've seen some pretty grim documentaries. Last Call At the Oasis, a
docu on how we may run out of fresh water even before we run out of
oil. Rise of the Super Bugs, a docu on the new generation of
antibiotic resistant bacteria, that no known medicine can stop. You
catch 'em, you die. I see a lot of these, being retired and in having
nothing to watch except Netflix. NF finds these docus from
god-knows-where and it's seriously depressed watching them all. But!
.....I've never seen anything as horrifying as Plastic Paradise, the
documentary on how discarded plastics are killing us and the entire
planet.

IOW, don't salve yer mind with recycling. It's a joke. What you
should be doing is trying to live without plastics. I know it's
tough. Even our clothing is plastic. But, we gotta start. The
scenes of a mother Albatross feeding her chick bits of plastic, we
knowing they both will eventually die, is heartbreaking. Yet the
Midway rangers continue to pile up dead Albatross bodies like cord
wood. Birds that, when cut open, spill out a gut full of Bic lighters
and fishing line and micro-bits of plastic.

Jes watch the movie ....if you dare.
