Trash

I was talking to my sister's family today about the film Wall-E and how I used it at work. It provided the introduction to a brief lesson on trash.

I mentioned the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and some of the people in the room had never heard of it. If you'd like to learn more, try here:

I also fret about space junk
(see http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/01/0119_060119_space_junk.html)
--and have since the late 1970s, when it was the subject of a Devo song.

I did some reading this week for a class that I'm taking. I had to identify myself on a broad spectrum of political persuasions. It looks like I'm a Green.
