These photos were taken by Chris Jordan at the Midway Atoll in the North Pacific. These are the remains of albatross chicks that were fed plastic by their parents until they died -- from starvation, poisoning and choking. I can't imagine the slow, horrible and confused death they must experience. The Midway Atoll, about 5,200 km from San Francisco and 4,100 km from Tokyo, is a National Wildlife Refuge, administered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
One day, we're going to pay for the horrors we're inflicting on the planet.
