Today I viewed a program on channel seven titled 'Oceans of Plastic.”
I found this absolutely astonishing that such a fate awaits us and future generations as the oceans drown in plastic right down to plankton level.
Instead of whining and grizzling about climate change this is what we should be worrying about. It seems that even if we stopped making and dumping plastic right now it would be centuries before the world was free of the current crop of rubbish.
Sand collected from beaches round the world all have a percentage of plastic as small as the grains of sand collected.
It is high time only degradable plastic was allowed to manufactured and used.
How about NZ being the first country to make such a rule, we did jump on the global warming / carbon credit band wagon like lightening lets jump on this one
