Apparently one person's trash is another crab's treasure. For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

Much environmentalism today assumes that humans are always the problem. Our activity is always harmful,

and the world is on the verge of collapse. But the more we study, the more we realize is how resilient life is.

Recently, USA Today reported that the infamous Pacific Ocean garbage patch, 610,000 floating square miles of man-made

trash, has become a thriving habitat for small marine animals. Scientists have found anthropos,

crabs, mollusk, on more than 90% of the debris, some of them species that could never live

that far from land. This story is similar to a report a few years ago that Perrigagon Falcons are more common in some major cities than in the wild, mostly due to the

abundance of tasty pigeons. Of course, litter is very bad for the ocean and the environment,

but these reports remind us how resilient life is, almost as if it's not really an accident

that shouldn't be here, but a carefully designed aspect

of how God made his world.
