At a recent East Valley Greens meeting Kaisha Torres mentioned this

The Largest Man Made Thing on the Planet may be a plastic garbage patch in
the middle of the Pacific Ocean, double the size of the State of Texas.

organisms below the water’s surface.  The plastic breaks down, but never
goes away. And by logical extension the small bits of plastic will enter
our food supply (if they haven't already).

social or emotional intelligence that is unfortunately rare in today's
American culture, but can be developed by all.  The Green Parties need to
lead the way in Peaceableness."
