Those of you who live by a beach probably know that you should not only take home with you anything you brought in, because even beach garbage cans with open lids can become scattered contents, but also take any other refuse you find, in particular glass, metal, and PLASTIC. Plastic can break down in the waves and against the rocks but into MICRO-PARTICLES that are digested when sea life eats and breathes.
MICROPARTICLES of plastic also make it into the FOOD CHAIN, and HUMANS have been tested and found to have plastic within their bodies.
This is especially serious when found in women's breasts.
It's possible that microparticles and other chemicals (after all plastic is a chemical) are causing CANCER in humans.
If possible, take water to the beach or out with you in containers that are not made of PLASTIC. Glass does break and the lids can be a problem, but clean water in clean glass containers is preferable to plastic or metal.
Some of my friends have bought reusuable aluminum water bottles.
I know aluminum is also controversial but I believe PLASTIC is the greater problem.
