Something Compelling

This looks like a cool thing these guys are doing, filming the albatrosses on Midway Island. The broader picture and the inevitable situation we are facing is quite sobering indeed. It is hard for me to give a concise reaction or conclusion from it, because I see that the problem is much deeper than just plastic being thrown into the ocean - it's principles, values, man and society's view of life. This external problem has a root in the philosophical and also theological debates of belief. The way we view ourselves, where we came from, how we are meant to live, and how we treat others directly affects our world. There are physical ramifications of beliefs. We can change the way we live, we can even stop the use of plastics, but the true problem to which we must discover the true solution is on the inside.
