You need to go back and read the post again. It is actually about Capt, Charles Moore who has managed to make a huge difference when it comes to alerting the world to the dangers of plastic ( not just bags either) in the ocean. His foundation is not only doing much research but also working internationally to do something about the growing problem of garbage in the Pacific gyre( which, btw is the subject of the post-- not plastic bags) Sorry you feel that one person cannot make any difference. Perhaps that is true of you, but clearly not of Capt. Moore. Sammi– I have not lost my marbles but fear you may have. You need to go back and read the post again.

Sweeting, are your really under the impression that one plastic bag at a time is gonna do it at this stage? Or even worse, were you actually trying to wax poetic over something so actually distrustive to the planet? If your susposed to be a 'green' site then how about giving some valid info. For instance, it's going to take hundreds of millions of people to agree to stop using plastic 'everything' to fix this and we all know that the greed in the world isn't going to let that happen. So pie in the sky all sunshine and lollie pop, 'one bag at a time you want, just don't do it on a site that claims to be 'green'. Saying your a green site says you understand how bad things are and 'one bag at a time' pretty much says you haven't got a clue. Oh yes, I like the 'God ruins the runiners' idea. See, that would actually work. Thanks for the voice, Sammie Roberta,

Armageddon may or may not lie in the future. I prefer to stay in the now and to do what I can one plastic bag at a time.

Last time I watched the news the different political parties in the country I live in(the USA)couldn't even stand to be in the same room together for very long! Now, I don't know my Bible near as well as I should, but I did read this in it only today. Rev 11:18 sure bothers me worse then the plastic swirl. It says God will, "bring to ruin those runing the earth". Seems like something bigger then plastic swirls are brewing up!
