"A new #film by #AbbyMartin exposing the world's biggest polluter: the US military.
#Earth's Greatest Enemy is a new #documentary film investigating the Pentagon's catastrophic toll on the planet–from carbon emissions, to toxic dumping, to habitat destruction and more, while highlighting the struggles against it. This will be the first ever piece of media that puts every facet of the Pentagon's pollution together into one indictment. But funds are needed to complete post-production. "

And here's a chart showing the #chemical #weapons dumped at sea. Just look at how many surround the UK:

Sperm Whale Asks Divers For Help Removing Trash Tangled In Its Mouth

Imagine that dental floss is attached to a bunch of old food and other stuff, wrapped around the bottom of your jaw, and you don’t have any arms. Are you imagining it? Well, you might have an inkling of how a sperm whale felt in the Indian Ocean.

The poor creature approached a group of divers, seemingly asking for help.

The whale swam directly up to them, mouth agape and dragging all sort of detritus. When the diver cautiously approached it, it left its mouth open and allowed her to pluck the tangled pile out, piece by piece.
