On TV, there was a program about a whale they found with 40 kilos of plastic in its stomach, and other fish surely has quite a bit of it, too. I can imagine how painful that must be.

So I hope everybody are thinking of this and trying to do their bit not to pollute the sea and other places.

Do you have bins for plastic only? I'm glad to say we have.
I know that in most of Europe, there are recycling bins for each material, e.g. glass (which is divided again into green, brown, clear), aluminum (a giant polluter in landfills), plastic, paper etc.
Here, in North Carolina, everything gets tossed into one recycling bin. I guess we should be happy to have recycling at all. And I know so many people who do NOT recycle. The garbage service provides free bins, so there's no excuse not to do it!
