Millions of disposable plastic bags are used and discarded in Washington each year. A beached grey whale was found in West Seattle in 2010 with 20 plastic bags in its stomach. Small pieces of plastic can absorb toxic pollutants like DDT and PCB. Scientists have found that fish are ingesting these toxins when they ingest plastic‚ concentrating the chemicals in the food chain.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms‚ I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end‚ I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger‚ I apply pressure‚ squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the “loser‚” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that‚ in general‚ the brown and red M&Ms are tougher‚ and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior
