That article helped me to unerstand it a bit better now. This is devastating for marine wildlife.
I have NEVER been able to understand how so much plastic ends up in the oceans anyway! The secret is not charging 5p (in UK anyway)for a carrier bag at the supermarket or banning bags. The secret is doing the right thing with them once we have them! For some unknown reason the 5p carrier bag charge is having NO effect on what is being tipped into the oceans! What is going on? How is so much garbage ending up in the water?
