Not only the plastic trash but also the trash people who don't give a shit.
 
Plastic waste/Micro(nano)plastics have a terrible impact on birds, their nests and on marine life. The amount of debris that I saw on beaches in/on many countries/islands is beyond imagination. The oceans of our planet are nothing but dump sites for many countries to get rid of their waste. :C
 
Its a sign of the sad times we're living in Donald...Lets hope it can get help mate.
 
even in such a gorgeous place as Rutland Water!!! thanks for sharing this photo, Donald, nicely illustrating how worrying things are getting.
 
a real shame of these times donald...lets hope every one now pulls together and rectifies this global problem.....
