]]> Comment on Carrefour lead Tenerife bag ban by Steve Andrews http://www.canarygreen.net/canary-island-news/carrefour-lead-tenerife-bag-ban.htm/comment-page-1#comment-108 Steve Andrews Sat, 20 Mar 2010 22:09:31 +0000 http://www.canarygreen.net/?p=76#comment-108 I am very concerned about the pollution of our oceans and environment with plastic which is not biodegradeable and is killing millions of marine animals and seabirds such as turtles and albatrosses. Plastic particles are being eaten by plankton-feeders and in some places plastic particles actually outnumber plankton by six tiny bits of plastic to one of natural plankton. Plastic has entered the food chain and is a threat to humans too because plastics carry other dangerous toxins that have been absorbed by the material. As I write these comments, David de Rothschild has just set sail across the Pacific on a catamaran made of recycled plastic bottles called the Plastiki. The Plastiki Expedition will be passing the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and aims to raise awareness of the danger of pollution by plastic as well as the need for recycling. I am personally in touch with David and am running a fansite for him at Facebook. I am looking into the situation with regards to rubbish disposal and recycling in the Canary Islands and am pleased to read that Carrefour are showing the way forward with their ban.
