The Garbage Patch

What you will see in the video below is striking! Over 7 million tons of plastic spanning an area twice the size of Texas. The so called "Garbage patch" in the North Pacific tropical gyre is an entire island of plastic garbage. In the waters in the area there are six time more plastic than plankton. Birds and fish are often deluded that plastic is food and poison themselves eating it. It is even more striking to think that all the plastic ever produced worldwide stays in the planet forever, because it takes thousands of years to decade and the recycling of plastic is negligible. Michael Moore, an ex-sailor, is researching this topic and there are many movies about it on YouTube. Alternatively, you can check his website, for more information.

As a conclusion, I just want to shout: REDUCE YOUR PLASTIC WASTE! Look what we've done to our planet!

The Perfect Gift

Although Christmas holidays are over, there are new ones coming and finding the best gift for the loved ones is always tricky - is he/she going to like it?, is he/she going to just throw it in the bin?, etcetera, etcetera. In order to save you this trouble I will recommend you the perfect, original, unique and most of all - REALLY WORTH IT present for your loved ones - a gift voucher for donation for a cause supported by the World Wildlife Fund. This is a present with true value that will never be thrown in the bin. It is a present for the future!

On this website you can choose from a range of donations - from helping a panda finds its home, to sending turtles to rehab and giving a polar bear a tattoo. Your present recipient will receive a gift voucher on their e-mail with an explanation what the cause is about and a picture with a cute, happy animal-friend smiling to say "Thank You".

Make a difference by choosing the best present!
