Double Olympic gold medalist rower James Cracknell joins Sky Ocean Rescue to unveil a 10-metre long whale in Cardiff Bay, Wales, which is made entirely from recycled plastic recovered from the ocean, beach cleans and local recycling plants to raise awaren
EVERY Sunday, I buy a tabloid newspaper and every time I have to remove the magazine and TV book from a sealed plastic bag.
This is totally unnecessary in my opinion, and just adds to the problem the world has.
I’ve just read that a dead whale has been found on a beach abroad with 30 plastic bags inside its stomach! How many other newspapers also include plastic bags? There must be millions of unnecessary bags thrown away each week.
