on midway atoll, a remote cluster of islands more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent, the detritus of our mass consumption surfaces in an astonishing place: inside the stomachs of thousands of dead baby albatrosses. the nesting chicks are fed lethal quantities of plastic by their parents, who mistake the floating trash for food as they forage over the vast polluted pacific ocean.
"for me, kneeling over their carcasses is like looking into a macabre mirror. …like the albatross, we [the consumers and polluters of this world] find ourselves lacking the ability to discern anymore what is nourishing from what is toxic to our lives and souls." - chris jordan
chris used a kickstarter campaign to turn this story into a feature length documentary, midway. read more on the great pacific garbage patch.

We have over time become quite averse to things that take time to become. We want quick returns on everything and when something takes longer than we desire, we wither with frustration or simply discard it. The seed of this plant is documented as being able to be germinated even after 1000 years and even after germination, it can live for more than 1000 years. We could easily look at its beauty and not see its longevity, its process, its staying power. If it had eyes and could share with us what it has seen, it would have millions of stories for us. I wonder what about us can remain beautifying the world even thousands of years after we are gone. Will stories of our love remain? Stories of our resilience? How about a legacy of hope and inspiration? I wonder. Will we just be a mark in the present that withers away with time, or will we leave more beautiful things behind that permanently scent the world. Wonder with me. #Flowers
