Existential Crisis of a Plastic Bag

“Existential Crisis of a Plastic Bag - http://nyti.ms/c6nMIi”

Incineration is not a favourite of mine but in this case it might be best.

The aesthetics of dog waste are a powerful argument in incineration's favour.

Prairie Home Companion had a bit while Tina Brown was editoor of The New Yorker. Garrison questioned the presence of a plastic bag on her hand. The response was: Of course! I am an editor.

The Pacific gyre looks to me to be a wonderful resource. plastic is mostly fossil carbon. There is a concentration in need of recovery. Trawling under sail is a neglected skill.

The series includes another environmentally themed film called “Seed,” about a future in which genetically modified seeds dominate the world and organic seeds are illegal.

Seed is an encroaching disaster. Genetic diversity is a necessity. Look at bananas.
