Polyamide, also known as nylon is collecting in the bottom of Lake Erie in the form of #microplastic! One source is from laundry waste water!

Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay! It's a great day to join us on a trail or roadside to pick up litter and remove plastic pollution from the environment! Have you ever wondered where the Norfolk County trails are? There's an interactive map for that: buff.ly/2QH9Cjx

Can you see the tiny broken bits of this straw? Being out in the elements for a long time has made it increasingly brittle. It is turning into toxic #microplastic! This is why you should never toss your plastic trash into the environment!

Awh the tediousness of gently pulling a bag out of the sandy #NorfolkCounty roadside! Know what's even more tedious: removing #microplastic from #farmfields and #waterways including the sandy bottom of #LakeErie !

"After today's rain we went for a walk down our road and took a bag with us for any roadside garbage. Can't figure out why someone would dump 5 empty Busch beer boxes all in the same spot. Filled the bag until it was too heavy and then had to stop." ~ Liz Jolly

#DYK cans have a plastic resin coating on the inside so that foods and beverages don't react with the aluminum and develop a metallic taste? That plastic often contains an endocrine disrupting and chemical known as BPA, and that often BPA substitutes are just as toxic or worse?

Please be sure that your enjoyment of a natural area today, isn’t ruining others enjoyment of it tomorrow, or for generations. Leave no trace by ensuring that all of your litter gets into appropriate waste disposal facilities, or pack out what you’ve packed in.

Whenever possible, choose a reusable non-medical #Mask to cut down on plastic waste. When well-constructed and properly worn, it can help to protect you, those around you, and the #Environment. How to make one: ow.ly/oTop50DTgUY #ProtectNature #COVID19
