Los Angeles Times

A juvenile albatross sits amid piles of plastic on Midway Atoll where discarded plastic items wash ashore and young albatross chicks like this one are inadvertantly fed plasitic bits which contributes to the death of as many as 200,000 chicks each year before they are able to make their first flight.
