I'm not a "green freak" but I did give up bottled water and plastic grocery sacks sometime ago. If you haven't, maybe this will change your mind. In addition to this you can google "pacific garbage patch" for more info.

It all rolls into one and nothing comes for free
There's nothing you can hold for very long
And when you hear that song come crying like the wind
It seems like all this life was just a dream
There's nothing you can hold for very long
And when you hear that song come crying like the wind
It seems like all this life was just a dream
