Plastic in birds guts = Australian Flesh Footed Shearwaters = Frogpondsrock ...


I was about to do my Sunday Selections post but was mortified when I saw Kim's story ...

This plastic you can see in the photo came out of the stomachs of three  Australian Flesh Footed Shearwaters on Lord Howe Island ...

a Google search indicates there's a decline in the birds ... no wonder!

This puts a new light on my scrounging beach glass on Santa Monica beach escapade ... like, what else am I going to find?

Look closely ... even an old Penfolds bottle cap ... what else can you see?

Further to my above post :::
Kim tells me one of the worst plastic finds are the little clips that hold bought socks together.


Wouldn't it make a great school project for kids to collect and recycle those horrid little things?


If you have school age kids who might be interested in running something similar I'd love to hear from you via the comments section here.


People power is a wonderful thing!!
