[Paddlewise] Petroleum IS the disaster.

I enjoyed the story of the Kon Tiki - in fact it is one of my favourite ocean
travel stories. Doubtful I'd enjoy the story of the Ra as much :O(
 
Petroleum IS the disaster - and as a person who just recently gathered and
hauled ten garbage bags of plastic from Shi Shi Beach (a three mile hike of
trail and another two of beach) - I'd say petroleum, it's by-products, and the
plastics made of it are the biggest environmental concern facing the world
today... disgusting... I barely made a dent in the mess out there...
 
Time to start thinking long and hard about where it comes from and where it
goes citizens of the planet... glass and paper may be clumsier to deal with
but at least they can be broken down by natural processes...
