Dust
and sand from deserts of Africa blow across the Atlantic and
help enrich the soils of the Amazon rain forest.
Plastic has reached almost every place on the planet, from
the deepest ocean trenches, to the remote mountains
of Antarctica. The wind and ocean currents carry earthly elements
and human debris away from us, but they don't
just disappear, they end up someplace else. Man's footprint
on the planet is undeniable and overwhelming. We are
now
living in the era that's referred to as the Anthropocene.
