If you have looked at the photograph , it doesnt take much imagination to think about how much plastic is going into rivers and seas on a regular basis , I went to look at my local river , after the heavy rains , and a great deal of new plastic is caught in the riverside tree branches and roots , along with the old plastic from 2020 flooding , and at this time of year it looks like somthing out of dystopian landscape or the river Styx . In my area there are a number of factors , but none more so than the soft drinks bottle , they bust out of full litter bins and blow in the wind , I think the drinks companies are going to have to pay to at least starting to resolve the waste problem , I was hopeful that we were going to get the metallic foils out of waste streams also , pringles have got a new packaging design , and only retailer going plastic free ,product by product is Iceland .
But wow from uk alone somthing like 9,000,000,000 kgs of plastic goes into rivers/seas ... soon be asking for polythene and chips please at the fish and chip shop.
