I recently saw a gripping video about the amount of #plastic waste in our oceans today & it bummed me out. It reminded me to this day in college I got to experience "Trash Beach" in #sansalvador #bahamas where the ocean current drives material waste to the shore. It was a fun day & an amazing experience- I even won a contest for finding the most unique piece of trash, an old school flame-thrower 🤷♀️- but man... just seeing that really stuck with me. What are we going to do? Can we make stuff out of this waste? Will we live in a world where tropical vacations will be to the colorful 'sandy' shores of plastic beaches? Anyway, it made me take my reuseable bag to @aldiusa today 😱😰#plasticbeach #bahamas #sansalvador #geraceresearchcenter #miamiuniversity #science #oceanhealth (at Gerace Research Centre, San Salvador, Bahamas)
