Plastic sand, floating garbage
plastic pellets, the raw material of plastic If you're going to do some green teaching. This will turn some stomachs.The LA River

John Klavitter, a wildlife biologist, turned the bird over and cut it open with a knife. Probing its innards with a gloved hand, he pulled out a yellowish sac — its stomach.

Out tumbled a collection of red, blue and orange bottle caps, a black spray nozzle, part of a green comb, a white golf tee and a clump of tiny dark squid beaks ensnared in a tangle of fishing line.

Lots of videos and pictures, so it's a nice thing for children to watch, though, I'd make that 10 years and older (IMHO). If you want to start them young on the concept, there's the real story of thousands of rubber ducks. But they're plastic, too.

Apparently, there's two swirling regions of the Pacific that's nearly as big as the US. Full of floating plastic. This all gets ingested by wildlife. It gets smashed, as would shells and floats in the plankton too.

Horrible. Outrageous!
