So, you want to use plastic?
See these untouched photographs of dead albatross chicks.
These photographs of albatross chicks were made just a few weeks ago on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.
To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent. (original source)
Plastic is a problem on our campus as well. Deer feed on the food waste. Often, we find deer standing near garbage dump, chewing on plastic bags which contained food. I have heard that a couple of kilograms of plastic were found inside some of the deer found dead in the recent past.
And many of the deer may be ‘explosive’ due to their recent diet of firecracker residue after diwali!!!
