Albatrosses Dying of Plastic

Photo by Chris Jordan, albatross

Albatrosses are sea birds that mistake plastic washed up on shore for food. This photo is taken by Chris Jordan, who has taken dozens of photos of albatrosses that have died in the South Pacific Ocean. The plastic is everything imaginable - bottle caps, toothbrushes, parts of containers. The parent bird also feed plastic to their babies, so they're dying too.
