Fake Plastic Fish - the New Reality

Listening to my favourite radio station - the CBC - I heard the story of three young surfers who left Vancouver to embark on their dream journey around the world. What they found was plastic migration knows no boundaries. Plastic is choking the planet.


Read their story at http://www.oceangybe.com/ make the pledge to give up your plastic purchases with the ultimate purpose to wean yourself and your family off of plastic forever. Start with never using a disposable plastic bag. It is anything but disposable. The survival of the oceans depends on our choices.


Plastic as it breaks down becomes smaller pieces of plastic, eventually being consumed by marine life and ending up in the food chain. Those fake plastic fish may be real plastic fish in the near future.


Yesterday was World Oceans Day. Awareness will bring about change so we suggest you educate yourself about the oceans and why they need your help. You will find many interesting and informative topics at this website http://www.theoceanproject.org/
