Stuffed To Starvation

 

Take a brief look at our environmental devastation on the wild life,this six month old Albatross chick in the photo above ironically died from starvation because it's parent incogitantly fed it a stomach full of marine debris of plastic bits and junk.

Normally,the chicks mother would fly several thousand miles to find fish,squid and fish eggs to feed to its chick and that gather in masses,in mid ocean currents caused by gyres,which are circular paternized motions of ocean water that rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counter clockwise in Southern Hemisphere.These circular oceanic currents not only draws clusters of fish,but it also traps litter and debris.

When the mother scoops up fish,she regurgitates it in the chicks mouth-along with bits of indigestable trash,due to polluted oceans this form of starvation is the leading factor of death in Albatross chicks.

Can you  once imagine human fending for preservation,by digesting waste in the future from the lack of food due to our pollution on Earth today?
