Non Food Items
Plastic bits like this in the environment can be deadly for large birds, small animals and fish. The bright colors can look like food items which of course they are not. The critters eat them and can't digest them and over time can fill their stomachs with inert food causing them to starve to death. They also break down into smaller and smaller bits to become micro. Scary for us these micro plastics this are now appearing in our own food chain.
