It has become my habit to pick up trash wherever I go. If I see trash, I pick it up. This is some of the trash I found on the beach the other day, all cleaned up. If there was no chance of it being washed into the sea, I might have left it there for a future beachgoer to find and use, but if these plastic items washed into the sea, they could kill marine wildlife - true, sad story. Plastic in the ocean is toxic to the entire marine food web.
Trying to decide what to do with these now...
