beauty in the eye of the beholder

Whenever I walk the beach or fly fish, i try to make a point of picking up the plastic trash that people leave behind or gets washed out through our local storm drains, especially after a good rain. Even though it doesn’t seem significant, I know it helps in a small way and I feel good about it. Our oceans are exploited and are ill. Everyone can make a difference. Check out these two articles about plastic in our oceans, a very interesting artistic perspective. Photos created by Goussin and Le Calvez and Soup a photo series that documents the pollution in our oceans by Mandy Barker. More disturbing photographic images by Chris Jordan!
