Reblogging here, thanks to Merry. This trailer doesn’t provide any answers, but it certainly reminds us of what we need to be paying attention to. Looking forward to the film.

Quick post:

The other day I got an e-mail from a friend with a link to this short film. You should have a look at it: Midway.

We all should do something to stop this. Don’t think that it only affects them. It affects humans too, so if you are the kind of person who doesn’t give a damn about animals, at least think about humans.

So unless we stop polluting the oceans, we are going to end up eating all that crap that we throw in them.

Ocean’s most dangerous species.

But I am not going to get into a rant about this overabundance’s possible negative repercussions for the little monster’s character development. Instead I wanted to talk rubbish.

I hate rubbish. “Yeah,” I hear you say “who doesn’t?” The point is, I also make an effort to avoid it.

To be precise, I am a bit of a compulsive recycler.

And why not? It’s good for the environment, it doesn’t take much effort, and it does actually save us money. So…
