        Instead of giving up plastic FOR Lent... give it up FROM Lent - ie for the rest of your life. Don't go back at Easter to wrecking our environment.

        If nothing else we must find ways to stop filling the oceans with plastic. Combinations of making sure it never get's there and technical solutions handling what's already their.
