FIRST DRAFT OF OLD NOTES

Went out to North Pacific Gyre...
CAPTAIN CHARLES MOORE...
BIO NOTE:
http://algalita.org/charles_bio.html
His 1999 study shocked the scientific world when it found 6 times more plastic fragments by weight in the central Pacific than the associated zooplankton. His second paper found that plastic outweighs plankton by a factor of 2.5 in the surface waters of Southern California.
I first heard about CAPTAIN CHARLES MOORE
from ANTHONY ZOLEZZI, Sustainability Expert.
Here is an interview with Anthony:
http://www.plasticsoup.org/en/2009/01/20/zolezzied/#comments
Working on this project, I have the feeling of being on a roller-coaster; not only because of the great speed, but also the way in which each interview shakes me up. This morning, I talked to Anthony Zolezzi, and again, I experienced a full loop.
I didn’t want to write a depressing book. That was my commitment from the beginning. But after hearing, time and again over the past few days, how every initiative to tax or ban plastic bags is crushed by the plastics and retail industry, I was starting to become negative myself. This was exactly what I was trying to avoid.
The best remedy against this rising depression was Anthony Zolezzi. This son of a fishing family has traveled the world investigating the problem of plastic waste (since plastic is a fantastic product that in our society, one can’t imagine living without). “Don’t fight them, embrace them!” was his conclusion. And he didn’t mean that in an Oscar Wilde sort of way (who quipped: “Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them more.”)
Anthony Zolezzi assumes the only way to win the battle against plastic is to cooperate with the producers. Once they are conscious of the advantages of durable production and recycling, they will change on their own accord.

The website where this table can be found also presents the following tips:
Wherever possible, find alternatives for plastic products. A few suggestions:
• Buy food in glass or cans: avoid polycarbonate (containing Bisphenol A) drinking bottles.
• Avoid heating food that is in plastic containers; and avoid storing greasy food in plastic trays or foil.
• Don’t give plastic pacifiers, teething rings, and toys to young children.
• Use clothing, bed linen, and furniture made out of natural materials.
• Avoid all products made from PVC and polystyrene.
I am in full agreement with these suggestions …
PS: After all, I have been invited to come to Radio Kassa on Thursday. And they will call on other toxicologists. I am curious as to what will happen, and will keep you posted!
80% comes from the land.

ANTHONY ZOLEZZI is one of the main inspirations behind
GREENOPS, a new Recycling Redemption project
that launches on Earth Day. GrEENOPOLIS is the
Social Network site. I am sure there are going
to be companies using plastic blottles for years.
This is a great project to make sure that those
producing drinks and other products in plastic
begin responsible for a program that sees
the bottles they sell are returned to the store
that sells it.

with me.
