The truth was‚ Mr. Libre felt sorry for his wife. He was very careful to hide it from her‚ of course‚ but day by day‚ through the years‚ as he saw her watching the shriveled half-black baby in the bottle‚ he felt more and more sorry for her. She would touch the bottle gently‚ once in a while‚ and run her hands fondly over the cold glass; inside‚ the stiff‚ skinless body of a four-inch boy now dead for five years‚ would bob up and down in the green alcohol. And then sometimes‚ slowly‚ to herself‚

• Message in a Bottle Survives Epic Journey by Mike Krumboltz 7 hours ago Last year‚ a high school student named Corey Swearingen put a letter in a bottle‚ sealed it up‚ and dropped it in the Atlantic Ocean‚ off the Florida coast. It was kind of an experiment for school. In the letter‚ he appealed to whomever came across the bottle to contact him and let him know where in the world it showed up. Amazingly‚ someone did. About 16 months after the bottle was dropped‚ Swearingen’s marine science

Plastics are synthetic substances produced by chemical reactions. Almost all plastics are made from petroleum‚ except a few experimental resins derived from corn and other organic substances. "Plastics" derived their name from their properties to be molded‚ cast‚ extruded or processed into a variety of forms‚ including solid objects‚ films and filaments. These properties arise from their molecular structure. Plastics are polymers‚ very long chain molecules that consist of subunits (monomers) linked

SAY NO TO PLASTICS!! As quoted by Lord Byron‚ “There is a pleasure in the pathless woods‚ There is a rapture on the lonely shore‚ There is society‚ where none intrudes‚ By the deep sea‚ and music in its roar: I love not man the less‚ but Nature more.” The earth is the only known world to harbour life. There is nowhere else‚ at least in the near future‚ to which our species could migrate. For 200 years we have been conquering nature‚ now we are beating it to death. One of the

Plastics are durable‚ lightweight materials that were invented in 1909. They are normally made from oil and natural gas. Using plastics to replace packaging materials such as metal and glass has allowed manufacturers to make packages that are more efficient. For example to bottle eight gallons of a beverage would take only two pounds of plastic but would take three pounds of aluminum‚ eight pounds of steel and 27 pounds of glass. The light weight of plastic packaging helps reduce transportation

The Plastic Age is going strong. Plastic rules our lives and how! It’s durable‚ does not perish‚ and you don’t need to cut trees to make it.

The Water Bottle The station was painfully close. I was racing through the desert‚ the sun slowly roasting and marinating me‚ soon id be a meal for the grim reaper. Sand tore away under the wheels of my bike as I rode hard east. Looking down into my lap‚ I eyed the package. I could abscond. It wouldn’t take me long to make it over the border‚ and with this package id be set for life. “If only.” Letting out a sigh‚ I sped to the station. Water was life. Water was money. Water was power.
