        No no, plastic stuff are specifically made to be thrown at turtles in the water and you are not allowed to pet the plastic if it is on the ground. That is at least what the warning label on all plastic containers says.

      The vast majority of ocean plastic comes from fishing boats, we’re just told it’s from land based sources so that major factory fishing firms can continue to pollute but make you feel guilty for dropping a straw in the trashcan.

        Drop locally. Chances are there is a small lake closer to you and your plastic bottle will have many more times the impact instead of pissing it away in the big ocean.
