Good for you Thames 21

I just read about a wonderful group called Thames21 that is calling for volunteers to join them in a foreshore litter blitz on Saturday, February 4. This patch of the Thames, called the Greenwich Bend, has a particular problem with a build of plastic bags, which pose a real threat to wildlife. Although the river is today one of the cleanest city rivers in Europe, at least 1,000 tonnes of rubbish is removed from the tidal Thames every year, and we are warning that much more litter is washed out to sea with devastating effects on marine life. Sea turtles are regularly killed by swallowing plastic bags which they mistake for jellyfish.

Plastic bags a real scourge. Reusable bags are the only answer. Fabric reusable bags are elegant, attractive and very economical. See some at http://www.badlani.com/bags
