A Walk on the Uninhabited, Desolate NW Hawaiian Islands, 1 of 2
- "At times, on these islands, I found it difficult to walk because the ground was covered in trash deposited by the sea. It was not "like" walking through a garbage dump, it was the real thing. Golf tees, children's toys, fishing floats, ball-point pens, even computer monitorsonly when I looked up did I prove to myself that I was on a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific, and not on the outskirts of a metropolis. It is the macabre merchandiser's dream of universal product placementrun completely amok." - excerpt from the article, "A Walk Among Ruins," by Jean-Michel Cousteau, at http://www.oceanfutures.org/features/2003/dispatch_09_03_b.asp
