please find here below a shocking article I've found in Metro which clearly explains that plastic will never disappear from this planet unless we do something about it!!!
Hope you will enjoy this short reading and I look forward to knowing your comments!!
The plastic washing up liquid container, which still displays the text ‘Fairy mild green liquid’, was picked up at Arbroath beach, Angus, by local primary school pupils in a beach clean-up.
Wendy Murray, who runs the East Haven Together cleaning group, found it as she sorted through the bags of litter.
She said: ‘I thought, this looks really old. I researched the graphics and realised it dated back to the 1960s. I was just shocked.’ She added: ‘Other people that took part were also shocked about the amount of rubbish. In total there were 123 bags.’ She said it included 2,000ft of fishing rope.
Earlier, another Fairy Liquid bottle — this one at least 47 years old — washed up in Somerset.
Brean beach warden Dave Furber, who came across the container, said: ‘I’ve never seen anything this old washed up before. You can still clearly read that it says “4d off” on the front, so it must date back to before decimalisation in 1971. That makes the bottle over 47 years old which is remarkable.’
He added: ‘It shows how plastics are so slow to decay.’"
