WE NEED TO ACT NOW!!
"TWO crisp packets estimated to be up to 50 years old have been found during a beach clean in Cornwall. Emily Stevenson, 22, co-founder of the Beach Guardian group, said after picking up the vintage Golden Wonder packets: ‘We could read every word. It was like they were made yesterday.
‘It shows how every single piece of plastic that everyone uses will still be here when our children have children — and probably even longer than that.’ In 24 hours, Emily walked 19 miles along 12 beaches and filled 21 rubbish sacks with 150 plastic bottles, 78 used wet wipes and 42 dog poo bags.‘The most unusual thing was a traffic cone wedged in a cave at Bedruthan Steps,’ she said.
As well as the crisp bags, she also found a wrapper for Opal Fruits. The sweets were renamed Starbursts in the 1990s."
