No getting away from plastic waste

This beautiful picture is of Gabriola Island, a heavenly community of just 4000 lucky people in the Gulf area of British Columbia in Canada and I believe you can walk along it’s beaches and just pick up and eat mussels, oysters and clams.

On April 26th the Aurora Learning Center group did a beach clean-up.

"We were astounded at the amount of garbage scattered on the beach," said Aurora students Hannah, Morgan and Kenda. "We collected four bags of garbage, think how many animals that could kill! It is very easy to prevent this”.

"No wonder so many animals are becoming extinct," commented Kenda.

All they need to do is to ban or tax the use of plastic bags there, and use nice reusable cotton bags instead. I’m hoping someone from this little piece of heaven on earth will read this blog and find out how economical and elegant cloth bags can be.
