"It's always something--if it ain't one thing, it's another" Gilda Radner
Things of this nature worries me for the long time survival of life on planet earth. Life that we would recognize today anyway.
So many things that our greed for having it all has driven many of us to where we don't pay much attention to what impact we have on this earth and our environment on a piece by piece,second by second time element

Plastic Breaks Down in Ocean, After All -- And Fast
Though ocean-borne plastic trash has a reputation as an indestructible, immortal environmental villain, scientists announced yesterday that some plastics actually decompose rapidly in the ocean. And, the researchers say, that's not a good thing.
The team's new study is the first to show that degrading plastics are leaching potentially toxic chemicals such as bisphenol A into the seas, possibly threatening ocean animals, and us.
Scientists had previously thought plastics broke down only at very high temperatures and over hundreds of years.
The researchers behind a new study, however, found that plastic breaks down at cooler temperatures than expected, and within a year of the trash hitting the water.
