What Floats

“The Puerto Rico trash problem has been growing for decades,” explained John Tarrantino on Wednesday, at The Environmental Blog. “With a population of around 3.2 million, the island generates about 3.7 million tons of waste yearly.

On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question, on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.
