During the holidays my sister and I went to the beach. We saw a lot of plastic litter and so we decided to make a mini-clean up as otherwise it will all end up in the sea! Please do not litter when you go to the beach.

Nurdles, the name of the, not so sweet, as it might sound, raw material of the plastic industry. The building blocks for plastic bottles, plastic bags and drinking straws – in fact almost anything made up from plastic. However, nurdles are also covering our beaches. It is estimated that 73% of beach litter is plastic. Ingestion of plastic kills more than 1,000,000 marine creatures each year, while humans end up eating thousands of microplastics through the consumption of seafood. Studies by the European Union and the University of Malta show that only ⅓ of the plastic used in Malta is being recycled. Most of the remaining ⅔ end up in the sea. So, let’s get over the hurdle and do away with the nurdle!
