Editorial: As the oil industry plans a big increase in the manufacture of packaging, the need for international action on waste has never been clearer
Jeremy Ruiz's insight:
We really need an alternative to plastic. For now, it's up to us to be more aware on how we consume. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

I also feel that there is a definite misconception on exactly how much plastic is in the ocean. It is often out of sight and therefor out of mind, and this article reminds us that there are actually tons of plastic waste in the ocean, apparently reported to triple in the next twenty years alone.

A new NCCOS study finds biodiversity in a U.S Virgin Islands mangrove bay is 30-50% lower than 25 years ago. With partners from the Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources, NOAA’s Coral Reef Conservation Program, and the U.S. National Park Service, NCCOS resampled juvenile fishes in mangrove habitats of a Caribbean estuary using

Also, it's really cool that they were able to conduct the same survey 25 years later!
