Recicling should start with design. We have to stop creating little plastic useless stuff.

An eye-opener….heart wrenching. For starters, I believe this production by Chris Jordan should be shown at every high school throughout the U.S.

An eye opener. As humans we have and we are still destroying the earth. Some people think we have evolved and kept up with all the changes so far and will probably evolve to keep up with the changes happening. The truth is, we are changing the environmental conditions a lot faster than we can actually keep up with. It’s the time to do something to protect our home. We can’t just blame the companies for producing all the plastic, we as consumers should also take responsibilities and stop the consumption of plastic packaged goods. We should shape production of goods we consume to reduce the damage we are causing.

We (the human species) are the makers of the "black plague"…or in other words something deadly, insidious, metabolic and far reaching…. and it is our doing….Look at what we have done.
