Plastic in the ocean. To me this is the very symbol of modern man's disregard for the natural world we all inhabit. For more than half a century, we have been dumping waste plastic in our oceans - not caring one iota about what it might be doing to sea creatures, sea water or to the futures of our oceans and our children's children.
Maybe I am wrong to blame ordinary people. Arguably, most of the blame should be directed at governments that stood idly by watching the horror unfold and to plastic producers whose financial greed subsumed their environmental responsibilities. Marine biologist Professor Edward Carpenter now of San Francisco State University was the first scientist to start ringing the alarm bells back in 1971. His significance is trumpeted in a current BBC video "story" shown at the bottom of this blogpost.
Here in Sheffield, Yorkshire you may be pleased to learn that Phoebe's second birthday event in "The Greystones" public house went really well and everybody had a nice time.
On three or four occasions, Phoebe slid off the bouncy castle and came running to the arms of her besotted Grandpa or marvelled at his ability to knock balloons up to the ceiling. I was hoping to post pictures but I am reliant upon smartphone snaps gathered by my son and daughter. They haven't sent them yet. Maybe tomorrow.
