more than a slogan, it's a way of life!
Plastic is killing 40 per cent of young sea turtles according to a recent article in the Daily Mail UK. This is a shocking statistic, one we should all be appalled by. Baby turtles are almost four times more likely to be killed by ingesting plastic waste compared to adults. Continue reading New Research Shows Plastic is Killing 40% of Young Sea Turtles
Forget the hokum about global warming. Plastic pollution can be seen everywhere. This problem is here now not some place in the distant future.

It is ironic that for a country that has led the world in so many environmental issues that we have such a shameful record of ignoring this hazard … all in the name of convenience, of course!
