Good Morning...
We are the greatest nation of consumers and polluters in the history of the planet.
We should be very proud...

About Me
- Name: Jim
- Location: of Jim and Peg's Habitat Home, High In The Mountains Of Southern California
We are a car-free retired couple living in a small 950 sq ft mountain cabin on less than 1/4 acre at 6,750 ft elevation. The native plant habitat we established on the property now exceeds 100 species and we grow organic vegetables on a small portion of the yard. In our continuing efforts toward simple, sustainable and rewarding lives we bid our last car "Good Riddance" in January of 1997. Earth Home Garden represents what we love in life; our bountiful planet EARTH and all her natural diversity; our cozy little cabin HOME and the family it has sheltered for 29 years; and the GARDEN around us which nurtures so many native creatures and helps feed us as well. It's our PLACE TO BE........... ***NOTICE*** Unless otherwise stated, all photos and text posted here are the copyrighted property of Jim Otterstrom, who hereby grants permission to re-print or re-publish his work, freely, for non-commercial purposes, so long as it is un-altered and credit is given.

You're right, we must awaken....this is a shame
What an eye opener! You know these things in your heart but forget them on a daily basis. I personally want so much to make so many changes for ourselves and our home but must admit they are daunting. Thank you for the video!
It's not just Americans that cause this. People all over the world are careless and callous and cavalier about throwing things away into the environment. Every human on earth should be forced to watch this video see the results of their actions. If you want more information on the "Great Pacific Gyre" visit http://www.algalita.org/
This is the guy that discovered it. He has some amazing videos of his own!
Jimena-
Yes, but will we.
Nutmeg Knoll-
I hope this post was helpful to you in trying to live by your convictions.
Yes the changes we humans need to make in our lifestyles are daunting but we really have no choice.
We will either make them voluntarily, or they will be made for us through the laws of nature.
It appears, at this late date, that, as a whole, we don't have the comprehension to understand our predicament, or the will to do much about it.
Urban Wild-
No, it isn't just Americans, but per capita, we consume and waste more than any other country in the world, and I live here, so this is where I feel my responsibilty lies addressing issues right here at home.
And yes, I'm quite familiar with Captain Charles Moore and his work through Algalita, but thank you for sharing that info here, some of readers may not be.
Maybe I'll post one of his videos here too, something I've already done at my facebook page.
its disgusting that ''we'' have been allowed to do this.
the human race needs stomped on a few times...who's gonna do that...
each person thats trying to do their best is a good start and a hope for the future.
Cool article as for me. I'd like to read something more concerning that topic. Thank you for posting that material.
