No one in our building knew that plastic takes THIS long to break down... it's a ridiculous amount of time and our habits better change, or say sayonara to our Mother Earth.
This weekend is the Great American Clean-up, where we clean up after all the buttholes who don't care where they throw their cans, bottles, pets, tires, old furniture etc.
Don't forget you can clean up trash during the bright and beautiful event on Saturday. Pick an area and help out and get some exercise. It's sad to me that we have to have a special day to pick up trash. Respect for your surroundings has a lot to do with it and some people really don't give a damn...
