TRAVELING UNDERBELLY

If you still haven't worked out travel plans for this summer, should you be making any, consider an environmental disaster hot spot. Should be a blast. 

GOOD Magazine, one of my absolute favorites, has this feature on a handful of man-made disasters you can go and visit.  If mai tais and swimming pools or even rainforest romps aren't up your alley, consider visiting the Eastern Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch, the Salton Sea, or the Berkely Pit acid lake in Montana.

Even if you don't go visit, it's a fascinating piece on the messes we've made.
