        Back in the day it was those plastic six pack holders that was the big villain, now it it plastic straws and CONTACT LENS. To keep circulation up and public opinion inflamed, next month we will focus on used condoms & after that fishing line, secret White House recordings .......

        Thank you USA Today for this story! Also, microfibers from clothes. You can get a Cora ball to help with that! They’re pretty cheap! We have so much waste in our waterways. We have to do more.
