Good talk.
The link is to a trailer for a film about Midway Atoll, the island having a lot of plastic washed ashore, coming from the pacific garbage patch. Many Albatross call the island home, and an overwhelming majority of them wind up ingesting plastic. The images are rather confronting.

They were indeed confronting. We were shown some of those pictures in class but I had no idea they were from a film. I'll try to find time to see it soon. Thank you.
-
It says on the site that the release is supposed to be for late 2013.
-
Ah, it says "© 2012 Midway Film" on the bottom so I assumed it was already out. I'll let my prof. know about it and maybe I'll get some brownie points. Probably not though.
-
I wouldn't give you brownie points either. I would however make a point of contacting that superb guy on the internet that shared it, and send him a healthy cheque, out of my healthy Professors salary, I believe that's the standard practice.
-
Hard ass. You remind me of the profs. I've had who have actually required that I show up to class.
-
Haha, well, showing up to class [i]is[/i] a little more vital than showing up to lectures.
-
What's the difference. And, give me a book and I'm fine. I'm just now finishing up my 100 and 200 level classes, so "class discourse" hasn't been very insightful. Sometimes I wish I were back in high school.

I know, but you get marked for attendance.

And whoever made up that rule for undergrads should be shot.
