Re: 6KG plastic in whale
I agree with you about a ban on plastics, Eliza. Have you also seen the many reports of seals and other marine life which have infected wounds when they get items such as broken frisbees trapped around them and as they grow the plastic cuts deep into their skin.
It has probably been mentioned in other threads previously too about balloons and how they can have a bad effect on all wildlife. I cannot understand why people decide to have tributes to deceased loved ones by releasing balloons. It is so thoughtless, in my opinion, when there are other ways to remember their loved ones without damaging the environment and being a threat to wildlife.
