The majestic plastic bag

A plastic bag is one of the most resistant objects on our planet. It is almost indestructible, it can fly like a bird and swim like a fish. And if we let it, will develop an astonishing life of its own. The Majestic Plastic Bag shows what can happen after it has served its purpose as a carrying device. The bag makes its way to its actual destination: the big trash swirl in the Pacific Ocean – and no garbage collection can stop it from doing so. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch The biggest dump of the planet is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. An estimated 3 million tons of plastic is floating around in one area which is approximately four times the size of Germany. Plastic is non - biodegradable but instead breaks into ever smaller pieces due to the effect of sunlight and friction. In the meantime, there are 64 times more plastic parts than plankton swimming in the Pacific trash swirl. So it is no wonder that fish confuse the trash with their natural food. This is an issue that concerns us all since this plastic will eventually end up on our plates due to the natural food chain.

Lay Lady Lay

Bob Dylan

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine.

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen.

Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you.

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead.
