Drowning in Plastic - Is time running out?


A graphic image showing a sea turtle made up of waste plastic bags that can be found floating in our oceans This was displayed at the 'Destinations' show, where most exhibitors were giving out leaflets in fabric bags, apart from a couple of exhibitors. In the adjacent hall the Caravan & Motorhome exhibition was taking place. Most of the exhibitors here were giving out literature in single use plastic bags. Some sections of the travel industry seem to be taking on board the damage caused by plastic. It is a pity that the organisers of these event don't include in their conditions restrictions on the use of plastic bags!
