If the younger people in our family, of which there are 12, at all represent the attitudes of their generation, something more will be done as soon as we're out of the way. Education is the key; pressure can be brought to bear. All of us old far!s will fade away, and they will be left with the power.


Until then, I'll do what I can.
China and India are responsible for the vast majority of ocean trash .
The above aside ,I recently collected a number of relatively straight twigs . Then I went to the Villages Wood Shop and drilled holes thru the center . I washed them and now carry a couple with me wrapped in paper towel to use instead of any type of straw that might be offered .
Everyone should do this .
