PLEASE ! When you throw garbage on the street, it gets washed into a gutter, and the gutter takes it to a river, and the river takes to the sea... By putting trash - especially PLASTICS into the right garbage bin - or taking your cans and bottles in for the deposit return - and taking all the things you brought to the beach back home with you - YOU ARE A CITIZEN ENVIRONMENTALIST!

THE OCEAN CLEAN UP - NEW MACHINE TO CLEAN UP PLASTIC GARBAGE PATCHES
THE OCEAN CLEAN UP NON PROFIT
EXCERPT: "Plastic pollution in the world's oceans is one of the biggest environmental issues of our time, impacting more than 600 marine species.
DAILY MAIL UK on INVENTOR'S OCEAN CLEANING BOOM : BOYAN SLAT
Boyan is only twenty five years old.
Excerpt: "Having addressed issues caused by the boom's drifting speed, large waves and damage at sea, the device is now successfully helping to clean up the Pacific.
The system, which drifts slowly across the sea and is emptied by visiting ships is currently gathering together rubbish between California and Hawaii.
The device is capable of catching floating waster ranging in size from discarded fishing nets and car tired down to plastic chips one milimeter in size."

BEACH CLEAN UP!
If you live near a shore, chances are there is some volunteer group that you can get together with to clean up the beach. Plastics are especially important to retrieve from the beaches, but all fast food containers, cold drink cans and bottles, everything you bring in, should be picked up and taken to a recycling place or put into home bins for pick up.
Group efforts give you a chance to meet other people who are ecology and animal welfare advocates. But if EVERYONE was mindful about taking all their trash home with them in the first place the beaches would have less refuse on them to clean up between group efforts.
Remember that it takes forever for plastics to degrade and even small worn pieces can be swallowed and kill fish and other sea creatures and birds.
