Don’t Rain on Me. Please.

We have read about micro-plastics (the tiny little consequences of our disposable society) discovered on mountains high and in oceans deep, but scientists studying micro plastics have also found they are falling on us from the sky.

Only four cities were included in the study, and the scientists involved say we need urgent research into what inhaling this type of air pollution does to the body, as none exists thus far.

Here’s to a more environmentally-friendly new year. Maybe the earth will be friendlier to us if we’re nicer to it.

  1. Whenever I read something about how seriously we are fucking up the world I think about this bit from Women In Love, and agree with Rupert.

    Rupert Birkin : I abhor humanity, I wish it was swept away. It could go, and there would be no loss if every human being perished tomorrow.

    Ursula Brangwen : So, you want everybody in the world destroyed?

    Rupert Birkin : Yes, absolutely. Don’t you yourself think it’s a wonderful, clear idea? A world empty of people… just uninterrupted grass and a rabbit sitting there?
