This can be a rather overwhelming topic when you see footage of people and animals living on a plastic filled island. Seeing this young bird having over 100 pieces of plastic in its stomach when it died.
I think the public is misled about what actually happens to that bit of rubbish they've thrown away and especially that bit of plastic they've tried to recycle. It might be out of sight out of mind, but it doesn't disappear. I am as guilty as the next person, but having the reality of it really put in my face and seeing first hand the damage these products are causing has made me try harder to change my ways and really think before purchasing and putting it to companies to try and change their ways.
We're never going to have a world without plastic, but we should try to have a world with less plastic.
