#ArticleSummary: "When photographer Chris Jordan first stepped onto Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of land in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, in September 2009 to document "overwhelming" levels of ocean waste, little did he know that his striking image of a dead albatross chick would go viral and change the world's response to the plastics crisis."

#Everyone:
Also, after much contemplation, I've decided to pick
#Australia and
#NewZealand as the go-to places. Either I get there by getting a job now, which I absolutely prefer, or I wait for years to complete a project, then make fame or fortune from it to get a golden visa, permanent residency, and citizenship there. Yesterday, I rewatched a 4K New Zealand and 4K Australia drone video, and I don't know when I fell asleep and started dreaming. In what I now know was a dream because I woke up, I saw I was at a beautiful place that's not overpopulated by humans, got green trees, got blue ocean, got birds flying, no smoke of combustion like in India or smoke of forest fires like in the US, green signs on fuel outlets, and I saw some conservationists who were doing the capture and release of fish and birds to collect material for genome analysis without killing them. I asked them if they came across any birds or fish dead bodies that had man-made plastic and other materials filling and filling their guts, starving them to death, not to mention microplastic is harming humans too, to which they said they had completely eliminated such pollution from their environment both by public, private, and citizen science initiatives. Then I really saw the statistics: this country does not have a lot of people, even when you sum up the legal and illegal population, like India, China, the US, UK, and EU, to which the group said at the same time, we have enough. I smiled and said yes, I agree, and I am glad your people are enlightened to see it that way; it shows I have come to the right place. Then I excused myself and went to an open restaurant to have English Fish-n-Chips with German Coffee. Then I woke up and realized it was a dream. I am still stuck in India, while all the unskilled legal immigrants, and worse, the unskilled illegal immigrants, walk in or float in to the US, UK, and EU unrestrained and are welcomed with free food, free housing, and free healthcare. First, I'm more qualified than them and will be paying my taxes. I don't want anything free. Still, I am the one stuck here in India, which makes no sense. That's when I grabbed Sir Edmund Hillary's
#HighAdventure #Everest book, which has been my long-standing go-to book for getting my mojo back, and I am now applying for positions in Australia and New Zealand.
