What a travesty! The Federal Government has issued another permit for mountaintop mining. The Epoch Times said this:
The federal government’s permit approval for a mining project in West Virginia is raising red flags for environmental organizations.

Where did that plastic water bottle that you carelessly tossed last month end up? Possibly in the great North Pacific Gyre.
Scientists have confirmed that there are millions of tonnes of plastic floating in an area of ocean known as the North Pacific Gyre. The first of two ships on a voyage to study plastic pollution there has recently returned to port. Scientists on board say they found increasing amounts of plastic of all sizes as they travelled into the gyre.
We all need to be more careful that we are not contributing to this giant garbage patch.
