The Plastic Bag.

The carrier bag is a very useful thing,
for carrying your shopping home.
Once they are empty…. what do
you do with them…  that is the thing??

Do you throw them in the bin?
hide them in a cupboard?
Do you fold them up neatly?
Blow them up and prick with a pin?

Do you let them have freedom?
To live a bag-life, blown by the wind.
So they can fly the thermals to
rival the birds in height and speed.

Is it good for them to have freedom?
Is fair to let them blow and whirl about?
What dangerous adventures they can
have dodging cars on the motorways!

Is it good for them to have freedom?
to be stuck in trees, to be deep in the sea.
To be put over heads of murder victims?
Or worse, the self-harm of suicides?

Plastic bags alone can live for ever.
They do not choose to biodegrade.
What will the Geo-phiz of future
generations make of our plastic bags?




Did You Know?..............Plastic Bag



Every second, 160,000 plastic bags are used around the world.

The amount of petroleum it takes to produce one plastic bag could drive a car 11 metres (36 ft).

A plastic bag is used for an average of 12 minutes.

267 different species of animals have been affected by marine debris.
If we joined all the plastic bags in the world together, they would circumnavigate the globe 4,200 times.

If just one person used recycled plastic bags over their lifetime, they would be removing 22,000 plastic bags from the environment.

Plastic bags are among the 12 items of debris most found in coastal clean-ups.

International Frankenstein Day

August 30 is Frankenstein Day. The unofficial holiday celebrates the life and times of English author Mary Shelley who wrote one of the word’s most read monster novel, Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus.

Born on August 30, 1797, Shelley published Frankenstein in 1818 anonymously at the young age of 22.


Considered to be a predecessor of modern day science fiction, Frankenstein recounts the story of scientist Victor Frankenstein and his experiment that ends with the creation of a human-like creature. In the novel, the creature who is hated and rejected by everyone due to its appearance does not have a name. In popular culture, however, it is mistakenly referred to as Frankenstein after its creator.
Although everyone in the novel believes him to be a monster, he is also an intelligent and emotional being who is looking to be accepted by others.



Did you Know? .... Frankenstein


1. The novel resulted from a competition between Mary, her future husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron and the writer John Polidori to see who could write the best horror story.
2. It is said that the plot came to Mary Shelley in a dream about a scientist who created life.
3. The first edition was published anonymously in 1818. Mary Shelley’s name was added in 1823.
4. Frankenstein’s monster is given no name in the book but referred to only as ‘creature’, ‘monster’, ‘fiend’, ‘wretch’, ‘vile insect’, ‘demon’, ‘being’, or ‘it’.
5. Mary Shelley said the name of Frankenstein came in her dream but in Germany there is a Castle Frankenstein, which she may have visited.
6. An alchemist named Conrad Dippel is believed to have experimented with human bodies at Castle Frankenstein in the early 18th century.
7. The earliest use of the term ‘Frankenstein food’ to refer to genetically modified food was in 1989.
8. ‘Frankenfood’ followed in 1992, followed by Frankenfruit, Frankenplants and Frankenscience.
9. Frankenstein has inspired more than 130 films, starting with the silent Frankenstein in 1910.
10. The music for California’s state anthem, I Love You California, was written by A.F. Frankenstein.

The Hurricane

This was it, this was my big moment. Up to now I'd done county fairs and hot dog eating competitions, but as the only reporter in this part of Florida, I had to cover Hurricane Bertram.  I could hear Steve, the studio anchor, in my earpiece, finishing his piece to camera about the hurricane.  I could see my cameraman counting down on his fingers to me, my heart rate increasing as the numbers decreased.  Three. Two. One.

"Over to Becky who is in Naples.  How are things there?"

"Hi Steve.  Well as you can see, its a little gusty out here today!  Gusts have reached 110 miles per hour and there are reports already of trees coming down on Highway 41.  The streets are empty, with some residents taking shelter in their own homes, but the majority have evacuated upstate, out of the path of Hurricane Bertram."

I was struggling to stand against the gusts and shifted my weight from foot to foot, trying to stay upright.

"You ok there Becky?" Steve laughed, a deep throaty chuckle in my ear.  I grimaced.

"Yeah I think so Steve but  I've had easier days."  I turned slightly to the side, allowing the camera to see the ocean behind me, the waves had come up the beach and onto the boardwalk where I stood.  I moved forward slightly as the waves covered my feet, spray blowing into my face.  I shook my head, trying to get my wet hair out of my mouth.  At least now my interview was over.

"Back to you in the studio Ste..."


It hit me side on, without warning, knocking me over.  I heard Steve gasp and say "Was... was that a fish...?"

Hurricanes
(Dosomething.org)

Before I go any further my thoughts go out to all my American readers.....keep safe.




  1. Hurricanes are large, spiraling tropical storms that can pack wind speeds of over 160 mph and unleash more than 2.4 trillion gallons of rain a day.
  2. The deadliest U.S. hurricane on record was a Category 4 storm that hit the island city of Galveston, Texas, on Sept. 8, 1900. Some 8,000 people lost their lives when the island was destroyed by 15-ft waves and 130-mph winds.
  3. Over 1/3 of cat and dog owners don't have a disaster preparedness plan in place for their animals. Help neighbors and friends come up with a hurricane plan for their pets.
  4. In the Atlantic, hurricane season starts June 1, while in the Pacific it starts May 15. Both end on November 30.
  5. When they come onto land, the heavy rain, strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings, trees and cars. The heavy waves are called a storm surge.


  1. 0% of the hurricanes that occur in the United States hit Florida.
  2. The difference between a tropical storm and a hurricane is wind speed – tropical storms usually bring winds of 36 to 47 mph, whereas hurricane wind speeds are at least 74 mph.
  3. Hurricanes rotate in a counter-clockwise direction around the eye. The rotating storm clouds create the "eye wall," which is the most destructive part of the storm.
  4. Hurricanes are classified into 5 categories, based on their wind speeds and potential to cause damage. Names can be "retired" if a hurricane has been really big and destructive. Retired names include Katrina, Andrew, Mitch and most recently Sandy.
  5. When the National Hurricane Center began giving official names to storms in 1953, they were all female. This practice of using only women’s names ended in 1978.
  6. The costliest hurricane to make landfall was Hurricane Katrina, a Category 5 storm that slammed Louisiana in August of 2005. Damages cost an estimated $108 billion.
