thedailywhat: Photo Set of the Day: In a series of photos called “Midway,” Chris Jordan, featured previously for “Gyre” — his massive piece of eco-awareness artwork — captures the heartrending plight of the albatross chicks who call the Great Pacific Garbage Patch home: The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking. [via.] Please, please send this to everyone you know.
