Whale in the Rainforest sally North

The carcass of a humpback whale was found more than fifty feet away from the shore, inside the Amazon Rainforest. Marine experts suspect a strong tide may have launched the 26 foot long whale into the forest, but it could also be related to the massive amounts of plastic the whale had eaten.

This article related to the persistent issue of pollution and lack of recycling of plastic in the US. The amounts of plastic present in the environment is similar to the massive amounts of smog found in cities during the industrial revolution. We really need to be more diligent when it comes to caring for our enviroment.

  1. This is really sad and makes me want to start recycling more, since my family goes through a lot of water bottles
