DID A MERMAID OR MERMAI\N WASH UP ON A DESERTED BEACH?

DAILY MAIL - DEAD MERMAID DESERTED BEACH?  CHECK OUT THE PICTURES.  IT LOOKS LIKE A MERMAID TO ME!


"If it’s true, she had deserted warm tropical waters to swim among the oil rigs, fishing trawlers, crude oil tankers, ferries and cruise liners in the chilly North Sea."

ONE BOTTLE OR CAN AT A TIME

We've been picking up bottles and cans that we see when we take walks for years now.  One bottle or can at a time we pick them up, sort them in the garage, and then take them to the closest recycling place.  Sometimes the line there is long and it feels crazy to wait for fifteen minutes to an hour in order to come away with a few dollars, but we usually find other people in line want to small talk.

Each time you see a bottle or can that is NOT IN A CITY SPONSORED RECYCLING BIN, you should do the same.  Out walking the dog?  Take along a spare bag to put them in when you pick them up.  If you can lean down to pick up your dog's poo (which you should do!) you can lean down to pick up a bottle or can that someone else threw out of their car or left when the bus came.

Even though our garbage fees include recycling bins to separate bottles and cans from food garbage and yard waste, and even though we have a lot of people in the area looking for things they can recycle so they can buy food,  we still find them!

PICKING UP BOTTLES AND CANS and GETTING THEM INTO RECYCLING is one the easiest things you can do to be sure that these items don't make it into our oceans, lakes, rivers, and the ocean, where there are huge seas of plastic already floating and hurting the ocean ecology and sea life!
