Over 20 years ago a container ship loaded with toys destined for the US market sank in the Pacific. To this day Barbie Dolls are still washing up on Vancouver Island.
The cargo lost some time ago was plastic bathroom duck toys, not “Barbies”, and the SPREAD of those ducks on ocean currents around the world, is covered in “Moby Duck”, a valuable book summarizing much of the dangers our oceans face, from ALL “civilized” sources, and some not so civilized. “Plastic Ocean” is another. Serious problem we must address, to survive.

Actually, Sanderling, if marine life – turtles, fish, whales – consume plastic it is usually fatal.

There is no such thing as pollution. It is a big LIE created by the liberal news media.
