Northern Beaches Clean Up Crew



Plastic usage is like a bathtub overflowing

4/4/2022

 
In coastal regions, storms are often powerful and accompanied by deluges of water that rush down hill into storm drains, ravines, streams and rivers, and ultimately to the sea. That water picks up much of the largely forgotten bottles, cans, and other litter that lies along curbs, under trees, in parks, and even in unsecured bins. It carries the debris into the waterways where it tangles in the bush alongside the stream bed or gets caught around rocks and bridge abutments, and eventually, forced by the currents, finds its way onto beaches and into marshes and other areas.
Plastic does not break down and go away in the ocean—it simply disintegrates into smaller and smaller parts, disrupting feeding and reproductive systems of ever-smaller animals and plants in the sea. Preventing plastics and other pollution from reaching the ocean should be our priority. We can pick up rubbish every day for the rest of our lives - producers and people's habits and attitudes to single use plastic must change. If your bathroom sink is overflowing, you don’t reach for the mop to soak up the overflow, you turn off the tap. That's is what we must do in regards to single use plastic. Meanwhile, please help us out with cleaning up the beach or other local area where you live.
