The Garbage Patch
Over 7 million tons of plastic spanning an area twice the size of texas destroying our oceans and harming our food chains.
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.

I’ll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past…
So send me off to bed for evermore
