World Oceans Day June 8, 2016

[Catherine]

Quote:One way to celebrate is to pick up any stray plastic bags which are seen drifting on the breeze, either in towns or in the countryside. Many of these will eventually find their way into streams, then rivers, and then out into the Ocean, where they are causing terrible suffering to marine life. And help in some small way to cut down the 'plastic islands' which are accumulating in Oceans all over the world.

I never thought about going out and picking up stray bags. I faithfully carry reusable bags and avoid plastic. Going out and cleaning up after other people takes it a step further.
I do carry extra reusable bags so I can give them to other people and hopefully encourage them to give up plastic.

Plastic is one of the worst things we do to the oceans right now. I do not know how we will ever cleanup the garbage islands.
