Freedom and Democracy is Dying

I have just read a blog concerning the evils of plastic...

"The Wall Street Journal says the United States consumes 100 billion plastic bags annually, requiring about 12 million barrels of oil to produce. And plastic bags, which look like food to marine animals, cause more than 100,000 marine animal deaths per year.

Plastic bags are not biodegradable, but rather, photodegradable. They break down in sunlight into smaller toxic bits, contaminating soil and waterways. This affects us very directly. A shocking statistic says all adult Americans now urinate plastics."

From me.... Try using canvas bags for quick trips to the supermarket. There are many things I don't like about US President Bush, BUT.... as much as he seems to love oil and it's virtues... we support his vision when we consume plastic with impunity. In case you don't know, plastic comes from petroleum products. Regardless of whether you are peeling a new CD or throwing out the kitty litter in Sobeys bags.. the plastic comes from oil....

George "W" may love oil but so do we whether you know it or not.... Take some time to think about it. Really, please do... think about it!
