Lovely post. I have just come back from the beach this morning, and took a friend for the first time. We both had a great time searching for plastic bits & pieces. Its a fabulous way to spend your time, always finding something to be delighted by in nature, be it the waves, the birds the shells, and so on. I know the plastic will keep on coming but I believe its worth picking it up and removing it from harm's way.
Sometimes I think, I wonder how long this has been here. The consoling thing for me is that I know most of it wasn't here when I was a child. We just didn't have these plastic things. It was rare. We should be able to reverse what has happened, after all we supposedly such a clever species, but perhaps not so clever if we drown in our own plastic sea.
That's a great initiative Beth. I don't think Virgin Australia is that advanced, but wish it was. I hope Richard Branson responds. Marea from 'No to Plastic'
