The Plastic Age & Ocean Treasures: A Quest Into Beach Trash

We've all once or more than once walked through a beautiful beach, forest or garden to find the remains of other humans' visit on it, ripping our little paradise away from some of its charm. We might pick up a bottle or two to then walk away with a mixture of disappointment for the others' behavior and satisfaction for we've done our part.

Rob Arnold went for a walk on Tregantle beach, UK, and returned home with thirty five bags of micro-plastic. The first intention was cleaning the area, of course, but what then? What to do with all of it? What was all of that half-eaten-by-the-ocean plastic before anyway? And why did his final work ended up in the Liskeard Museum?

This small article, consisting of a majority of pictures, will leave you with a pleasant feeling and, perhaps, a sharper eye on your next beach afternoon.
