One thing I like about us Americans is that we always say we should do stuff like recycle, use less energy, or stuff like that. But we never really do. We want to use electric cars, but where does a lot of the electricity come from? Coal. My favorite hypocrit is Al Gore. He has a house in Florida. I believe it is beach-front. According to him, isn't Florida supposed to be mostly underwater by now? Eh. Gotta love America. That's why this plastic beach doesn't surprise me.
