RE: Day at the beach, great wildlife & a sad encounter

in #nature6 years ago

Aww... the beach was so beautiful and isolated - just like I love it! Reminded me of Playa Negra outside of Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica... very similar :) But then... the poor pelican appeared and it ruined the video for me :( We often spent hours just sitting on the beach in Mexico and watching pelicans fishing and flying over our heads... so majestic birds! I am afraid your suspicion might well be right Eve... I recently saw a really great and eye-opening documentary that I wrote about in this post https://steemit.com/film/@phortun/a-plastic-ocean-documentary-that-everyone-should-see and eating (too much) plastic really is a very common cause of death in sea birds... I can see the light in the tunnel though - more and more countries from all over the world have been changing their "plastic policy" recently... We just have to do what we can and inspire others... like, for example, you guys do ;)

Sort:  

I saw that documentary =(. It's very sad...sorry to share a sad experience here, but unfortunately it's the reality.....here things are getting better too! We got plastic bags banned in supermarkets, and now on September 1st they also banned plastic straws and take-away containers, so as you say, there is light at the end of the tunnel =)

There you go! Awesome news :) There is the light at the end of the tunnel for sure ;)
