Planet vs Plastics -- Happy Earth Day
Happy Earth Day! This year's theme is "Planet vs Plastics." Little bits of colorful plastics like these bag ties are particularly dangerous to sea life and larger birds who think they are food and eat them. The critters eat them and can't digest them and over time can fill their stomachs with inert nonfood causing them to starve to death. They also break down into smaller and smaller bits to become micro. Scary for us these micro plastics are now appearing in our own food chain and even our bodies. Something to think seriously about on Earth Day and beyond.
