Polluted Oceans!

by Bannerman, Gradisher, Konar, Lawton, Epstein & Piro

My Mermaid cartoon this week was actually based on a disturbing article I read about a whale that washed up and died in Thailand that had ingested huge amounts of plastic: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-thailand-whale/plastic-bags-jam-stomach-of-dead-pilot-whale-in-thailand-idUSKCN1IZ08W
And another article on straws also polluting the seas: https://www.strawlessocean.org/faq/
It’s a lot to think about and reducing our uses of non-recyclable plastic is something we can all try and work towards.
