Notes About The Poem

"FLOATING TRASH " SOMEWHERE IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN . THE SIZE OF FRANCE!

Nature's Holiness

Floating blasphemy

Nature's holiness destroys 

Hubris unpunished!

* The result of polluting our planet is that many trash islands have been created. 

Campaigners are trying to get a floating garbage island the size of France recognized as a country in the North Pacific.

Well there seems to be some good news on the horizon, I posted on my FB page, they seem to be making plastic pellets out of the waste to pave roads, See below A Scottish company has come up with a way to use recycled plastic to make roads instead of oil based asphalt products like bitumen. Great Haiku dearest Demetrios. We all do our bit to spread awareness....Maria xxx

That is good news my dearest friend, Maria BUT please tell me what will happen to all the trash has settled on the seabed or has passed to the food chain? Furthermore, how many years it will take for to clean this huge surface that grows each day? Thank you for caring! Xxx

So true dear, Tom! It drives me crazy to see people saying a lot of things and do nothing to save this planet, to save themselves! Thank you so very much for caring!
