The True Tale of the Great Swirling Plastic Vortex and Plastic, Plastic No!

As you read this, there is a vortex of swirling debris, a soup of plastic waste, floating in the Pacific Ocean and growing at an alarming rate. Just one of these “Great Garbage Patches” covers an area twice the size of the continental United States. In effect the world's largest rubbish dump – it is held in place by swirling underwater currents, 500 nautical miles off the Californian coast, across the northern Pacific, past Hawaii and almost as far as Japan.

Amongst other debris, this vortex contains particles of broken down plastic so tiny they are indistinguishable from the plankton that serve as food for fish in our seas. Our fish are therefore becoming plastic – and so are we.

Ode to Rupert Murdaugh

Do you become as pissed off as I do every time you listen to the news?

Well, here’s my response to all the media conglomerates that put making money before Peace on Earth, truth, honor, respect and caring for our precious, fragile environment for the sake of all living beings alive now – and to come.

Fukushima-Chernobyl

Though commonly thought to have ''only'' caused 4000 deaths, new scientific evidence from doctors and health workers in Russia has determined the number of deaths from cancer from that single disaster, Chernobyl, is  actually 985,000 people planet wide, a fact the captains of industry and governments of the world would prefer we remain unaware of. This number does not include children severely deformed, ill and/or abandoned in orphanages in the Soviet Union.

It takes 24,000 years for plutonium to cease being a health hazard to living beings. Fukushima continues to release radiation into our oceans every day.

Water Not Weapons

A friend once asked me to write a tune about an expression coined the the famous environmentalist, Pete Seeger, “Water Not Weapons”
