Gathering samples to determine the extent of the problem...
It’s called micro-plastics, and it’s a worldwide problem – the plastics can pollute & kill parts of the sea, and ruin a beach. Our Beachwatchers (led by Shann Weston) were collecting samples the other day – here’s more.
The Town’s ban of styrofoam is a good first step (which the County needs to pass as well, and soon), but we have a ways to go to stop this planet-choking activity, and begin a process of cleanup.
Here’s more about the mess we’re in, with the mess we made (and – find out what a nurdle is….)
