Down at the beach today collecting mulch - and seaweed this time - washed up by sea - it's always a fun experience: I just love this free stuff that is so abundant. BUT - this time, a few days after a storm, loads of little bits of plastic - and decomposed aluminium cans. NOT fun. There seemed to be an unusual lot of small pieces of plastic, like bits of cellophane wrappers from round cigarette packets and stuff like that. I reckon it had been mainly washed down stormwater drains, into the Hutt River, out to sea, then rolled back in on the tide.That's what brings in the good stuff - the mulch washed down out of forests, etc, into the ocean, then back on the tide.
Shame it has to get mixed in with all this unnecessary, human-created packaging and discards. Bring on the plastic-free revolution I say! Ok, I know I'm part of it - currently, but not forever. This month, there are a few more voices pushing the plastic-free, zero-waste revolution. Bring it on.This from one of my daughter's friends: two minutes a day on her efforts to go plastic-free in July. This is just the beginning:
