Where Plastic Goes When It Dies: Birds’ Stomachs
This nature photography by Chris Jordan isn’t for the faint of heart. The series of decomposing bird carcasses faithfully documents the impact of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch on albatross chicks in the Midway Atoll. [Gizmodo]
From the photographer:
On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.
To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent.
Oh! Humanity, what have we done?](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_krs0b8rL1R1qzyhb5o1_500.jpg)
