Here’s a sobering reminder of what we humans are doing to the earth and to the animals. The micro-plastic that breaks down is especially sickening . . . Don’t throw plastic away. Don’t buy it if you can do without, and don’t throw it away. At least, try to recycle.

Hi Denise – it is quite appalling … I don’t think we’ve realised how harmful plastic is … sadly we think things are good – but then … some decades later we find out … thanks for highlighting …
Don’t use, recycle if we have to use (but preferably don’t use), – buy local …
Let’s get our acts together for now and into 2017 and on …
Thank you for alerting us – Hilary
Sweet Hilary, thank you so much for commenting! We have a long way to go in cleaning up this planet, unfortunately. I don’t foresee things getting better in the near future, either. Well, we just have to do what we can. Have a good week, my friend. MDC
A lot of that plastic, I suspect, is dumped by ships. No monitoring.
That is terrible! Sigh.
