Watched a horrible thing on BBC World News the other day. It was about all the huge amounts of rubbish that end up in our oceans, and later on a beach somewhere.
And it doesn't just end up there. It ends up in the stomach of albatross chicks, as albatrosses confuses plastic, like cigarette lighters e.g. with squid and feeds their chicks with it. Which of course end up killing the chicks.
It's sad what we are doing to this earth and to other species.
I've also been thinking about plastic and rubbish in my own home. I of course do not throw it in the oceans, but it still freaks me out when I look at the amounts of trash that my family produces every day.
And the fact that I have to deal with the recycling every week, as it only takes a week for us to collect loads of plastic packaging, paper, bottles e.g. is scary.
They even package the organic bananas in my store. And even if the product is organic and I recycle the packaging, it sure does add to the carbon footprint.
Need to, at least, talk to my local supermarket and ask them why the need to package organic fruits and vegetable. It makes no sense.

Jag har funderat över samma sak. Det känns fel att köpa ekologiska bananer i plastförpackning. Som att ha smuts som diskmedel, eller nåt... .
Snälla, skriv svaret om du får något.
You definately should ask your local shop.
I did. Where I used to live the big store on the main street, you know it. Anyway, I asked them why they packaged the organic bananas in plastic bags.
The answer I got was so that the girl in the cashier would be able to tell them apart from the ordinary bananas.
I said there must be some other way you can do it or else just package the non organic bananas, which seems a tiney bit more logical than the organic. Since for me, plastic and organic don't go hand in hand.
Anyway, the week after my questions they had removed ALL the plastic packaging on bananas.
