there are parts of the ocean where the ratio of plastic to plankton is now 10 parts of plastic to one part of plankton. so this is a very large-scale issue. i think people feel very depressed when they think about it and do not know what they can do. epa is doing a number of things, and so is method. one is to reduce packaging. how do we reduce the amount of packaging? one way to do that is to insure all the packaging is as efficient as possible, but also made of recycled material. another thing they're doing in the bay area and l.a. is to set 0 limits on the amount of trash that could go to water bodies. so the l.a. river has a zero trash total maximum load. the same with san francisco bay. that requires action on the parts of cities, but mainly companies are leading the way. it is a fantastic to hear about this. this is the coastal cleanup week. this saturday. last year, california reached 1 million participants in coastal cleanup. so this gives and next -- you know, when my kids go out this saturday to ocean beach, people want to know that they are making a difference towards somet

the plastic heats up -- the bad part about plastic is that it will burn and melt. at one point in time, lexan was the cure-all for everything. you can't do this, you can't do that, it's indestructible. a major jewelry store put it in their windows, and they were home-safe, it's perfect. till a enterprising burglar took a hand torch and did a perfect circle in and reached right on through. it melted the perfect little hole and moved on. so what we do the glazing for tiffany's around the united states, and what we do for them is a piece of leksan in the center, half inch leksan and water white and extra star fire on -- >> what is that water white or star fire do? >> it's extra -- glass has -- so the street layers cep them protected. they -- kept them protected. they haven't had any major burglaries to point. >> somebody is working on it. >> well the product has become expensive because of the three lawyers so they put an additional layer of mylar graffiti film over the outside so in case it's scratched then we pull off that sacrificial layer and put on a new piece of

plastic, you know, plastic is easy. we're doing more complicated plastic, but great material, except scratches, it does all sorts of things, and it burns. not the perfect product. another instance that we're talking about, that is what do we do with mirrors. mirrors are essentially quarter inch glass, with a silver backing. and so the -- how do you protect those. these can't be tempered. they can't -- technically they can be but when you temper something, it puts a slight wiggle in it so then that mirror becomes a funhouse mirror. not good for retail, particularly. what we do, and this is required for sliding wardrobe doors, where it's a door, and it's moving, is to put the safety backing on the back of it. so the mirror will break, but it will stay together by virtue of this category two. it's got like fiberglass mesh going through the back of it. it's still a mirror. sometimes we use this around bathtubs, so in case you get up, and... so it will break. but it's still holding together. >> is there another insulated gla

plastic surgery is not as taboo as it was in dames gone by. if you can afford it, the reasoning goes, why not? but how does that reasoning change when the patient is barely a teenager? just beginning to navigate the thorns of self-image? well, tonight, we meet a 13-year-old and her parents who made an unusual choice, and abc's juju chang has her story. >> it's over here, like, it hangs. >> reporter: nicolette taylor hates her nose. >> it hangs crooked. rrl she isn't the kind of girl you would expect to be bullied. she's a popular and active eighth grader. look at how cute you are. as a little girl, she worked as a model, on magazine covers and catalogs. she broke her nose when she was 2 and again when she was 8. that's when the teasing started. >> i came off the bus, i was crying. this girl, mom, she's calling me big nose taylor. i don't even know her. >> reporter: nasty comments posted on her facebook page caused her to come home day after day in tears. >> this one kid was like, hey, big nose. hey, what you are doing? >> reporter: but doesn't
