They have always told us that plastics do not degrade, they remain forever in the ground, in the sea,... but...
"Its body has some substance that, with the mere contact with plastic, degrades it. Now they are going to investigate whether that substance is able to be apply it on a large scale and eliminate plastics from landfills, for example". Source: here (in Spanish).
After the last major spill in the Gulf of Mexico, they have discovered bacteria there that are capable of rapidly decomposing the spilled oil. It is quoted in this article (in French).
The scientific study they mention literally says: ("Bacteria have been rapidly eating a long undersea plume of oil in the Gulf of Mexico."), And the original study is here (in English).
(Terry C. Hazen et al. Deep-Sea Oil Plume Enriches Indigenous Oil-Degrading Bacteria. Published Online August 24 2010. Science 8 October 2010: Vol. 330 no. 6001 pp. 204-208 DOI: 10.1126 / science.1195979)
10 years after the sinking of the Prestige oil tanker off Galicia, they observe that:
"The impact is much less than expected at the beginning. There must be minimal levels of pollution. The sea has an incredible regeneration capacity". Source, here (in Spanish).
In 2000, Miami's main sewer ruptured and all its contents were dumped directly onto the beach (big press headlines and flight out of celebrities).
After repairing the break, in an exhaustive sampling and control in 52 points of the coast, the official study discovered that in a few days the water was clean (Study published in the book "El poder curativo del agua del mar" by A. Gracia and H. Bustos. University of Baja California).
You can download a report on the subject, here in DIN A4 and here in Letter format (in Spanish).
That is why the manufacturers of articles that are normally in the sun advertise "protected against UV rays", such as garden blinds or others. And we all see what happens to plastic chairs, polystyrene and other plastics that are left in the sun: they become dust. This is what we see. Then we don't know what happens to the dust, but perhaps, just as plastic becomes dust, then there is another mechanism that broken up that dust. It is certainly a slow process, but too fast when we are the owners of the degraded objects!
There is another article talking about the lie of "island / continent of plastic" and plastic disappearing from oceans.
The (positive) facts about marine pollution should not be inclined to continue littering the seas with garbage.
The (negative) facts exposed ... should not lead us to sadness, hatred, ...
Whatever we do (whatever we feel we should do), let us always keep peace in our hearts.
Our work or our effort receives a reaction from the world in the form of payment, salary, remuneration, etc.
The suffering with which we work is not perceived by the world, and therefore, it will not receive compensation (we harm ourselves with bad internal secretions with no compensation).
(Suffering is only beneficial when it helps us to grow, to wake up: "suffering this accident I have realized how reckless I was driving!").
In Spain there is a convent of nuns (Poor Clares) who have declared that there is no pope since Pius XII. As a result, their "bishop" has stolen their bank accounts and is trying to expel them from their monasteries. He says they had less than 6,000 euros. (Even more shameful act, for stealing good poor nuns of what little money they had. They are poor: they had to mortgage one of their monasteries). They ask for support (money, materials or diffusion of their situation). Their website is tehagoluz.com and their Instagram account. |

As you can see, on 6/14/2024 I've added many articles. |
In Spain you can buy sea water at cheap price at any diet store and some supermarkets. Examples: this diet store, this pharmacy (at higher price), this supermarket. There is also an organic bakery making bread with sea water and sells it too. There are 5 companies bottling and selling sea water because there is a lot of people drinking sea water on a daily basis. If you at your country become a critical mass of people interested in sea water, companies offering it will arise. So, it's in your hands, sharing this information meeting your friends, by phone or social networks, to make the conditions where these companies will appear and make sea water even more available to all the people. |
Work in progress. |
