Plastics in our Sea event on May 5

I first read about the huge mess of plastic swirling around in the Pacific ocean on MomGoGreen.com. I didn't want to believe it. I avoided reading about it at first. But it's really a sickening, huge mess. Please read her post to find out more. We talked about this about our GreenGroup meeting last week. It's surprising that more people in the world don't know about this, nor if there's anything that can be done.

If you're intrigued, you can enjoy free Hot Lips Pizza and beer at Ecotrust (721 NW 9th Avenue) on May 5, 2008 and learn more about the effects of plastic on marine life in "Our Plastic Sea." The talk will be at 7pm, and will kickoff a statewide campaign about marine debris -- primarily plastic -- and what we can do about it. Free, but reserve your spot.
