Researchers Explore Growing Ocean Garbage Patches - NYTimes.com
The New York Times reports: "Light bulbs, bottle caps, toothbrushes, Popsicle sticks and tiny pieces of plastic, each the size of a grain of rice, inhabit the Pacific garbage patch, an area of widely dispersed trash that doubles in size every decade and is now believed to be roughly twice the size of Texas. [...] The researchers say that when a predator — a larger fish or a person — eats the fish that eats the plastic, that predator may be transferring toxins to its own tissues, and in greater concentrations since toxins from multiple food sources can accumulate in the body."

Comment: We are watching the slow death of the oceans and it's bad news for the cycle of life and the millions of people that rely on fishing for food and their livelihood. When God gave us dominion over this planet I don't think He had this in mind. There is an answer on the horizon though, as we look forward to the day when Jesus returns and destroys those who are destroying the Earth.
