It is a 100th birthday party in a well-to-do postcode of Sao Paulo, where the house of our journalist host – he and another writer pal are actually each turning 50 – slips graciously down

a slope to a terrace and the chatter is nearly all politics. Then the

Stiv Wilson of the ocean conservation group 5 Gyres has made a first attempt to tally how much plastic is in the global ocean.

We've all heard about the Texas-sized "garbage patch" swirling in the North Pacific, and recently we've been warned that the Atlantic's got a plastic problem, too. Rather than distinct patches, the planet's interconnected

我找你找了好久

可以彼此分享得意骄傲

不担忧谁的心里不是味道

可以传染给你心情不好

连说一个理由都不需要

可以直来直往提醒劝告

就算争吵也都是为对方好

可以和你商量秘密苦恼

不害怕全世界都会知道

我找你找了好久

一个互相了解的朋友

生活有人分享的时候

快乐就变得容易许多

我找你找了好久

一个拿心来换的朋友

伤痛有人抱紧的时候

未来有什么路不敢走

对一首歌曲的怀念，

对一个城市的执着，

对于一场电影的记忆，

还有那些熟悉的街道和熟悉的光影，

都只是因为一些人。

因为这些人，

这些事才开始有了意义。…
