      Incredibly depressing news that we are polluting our small world so much that the 1960s is just washing up now. That means several more decades of dramatically more pollution is to to come.

      Go to any beach. Somebody probably left their garbage there. I love in a town with a bunch of waterfalls that attracts cidiots and they always park dumb, act dumb until police are called, and subsequently leave their garbage in the middle of the road.

      I’ve seen a bear eating spaghetti in broad daylight in the middle of a mountain road. Theres so many more issues to leaving garbage than just flat out pollution. It genuinely effects everyday life down to the most mundane events.

      This should be a wake-up call..our plastic doesn’t disappear, it just travels and comes back to remind us we messed up.

      If you find my six million dollar man action figure, please send it back. I dropped it in the rapids on a canoe trip in 1977.

      This article has problems.  None of the bottles in the photo appear to be Canadian brands.  The article doesn’t state what proportion of plastics are of Canadian origin.  The article shifts from bottles (usually polypropylene or polyethylene) to polystyrene (a lot of ocean polystyrene comes from fishing equipment and marine structures) which is not used for bottles and, as shown in the photo, typically breaks up into tiny fragments that are impossible to determine where their source is. 

      The article is pure click-bait and somewhat disappointing from a source like the BBC.

      I’ve noticed that if you throw something into a water body, like a lake or an ocean, that the next day you come back and it’s gone. Somehow it takes it away and filters it through and it just cleans it up, like a garbage compactor or whatever. So it’s not really littering if you ask me.
