The trash we discard in the sea, the nets cut loose to ensnare
dolphins, tuna, etc, are a disgrace. Worse yet are the plastic six
pack (and eight pack) loops that get tangled up in birds legs and
necks. At the dump primarily, but anywhere they are discarded.
Please use a knife or scissors to cut every loop on those things
(large and small) before they are discarded. Write to your local and
state and federal representatives and try to get these things recycled
instead of thrown away. Don't know if it does any good, but I use one
of these to tie 25 or more together using the smallest hole, and cut
all the other holes before placing them in the recycle bin. If your
area recycles bundled plastic bags and/or gallon milk jugs, they may
just recycle these items as well. Worth a try.

It's quite sad, really.

Thanks, Jostein. Actually I wondered if that was it, if they were
all over
and I was seeing them without realizing it.
