Plastic pollution seems to be the central issue of the moment as it has been found even in the Arctic. I was watching the opening of the Winter Games and thinking about all the plastics that are are sent into the Atmosphere and the plastics that have been found even in the Arctic, there was the commentator showing a bird that had died with a piece of plastic tied round it's beak and the death of a seal with a plastic band in round it's stomach.
After David Attenborough's Blue Planet 2 it became apparent that more people need to become aware of what we are doing to the planet though a great number are already aware that we need to care for this planet. People are cleaning up the Plastic they find on the beach. Penzance is the town that holds the first Plastic Free Status Award - at least that is good news:
