Refuse the Junk

Yesterday, The Plastic Ocean posted this video of Captain Charlie Moore talking about our "plastic footprint." Take a moment to just look at all the plastic around you. As I type... I'm typing on a plastic keyboard, in front of my plastic computer, printer, desk lamp, looking over I see my camera... I'd bet the rug that I'm sitting on has plastics in it. True...some plastics are unavoidable... I LOVE my camera... but for the ones that are avoidable... go ahead and do yourself a favor and listen to Captain Charlie Moore:

"Refuse that plastic junk. I mean, it's just going to break and make you pissed off anyway."
