5. Is that why it died?

6. Did the plastic kill it?

7. poor fella. Heartbreaking

8. Obviously wasn’t a bag for life..

9. I always keep a few bags on me to beat the bag tax as well. But in all serious, and conversely, the bag tax is a great thing if we want to minimise this sort of thing. Most of yis won’t be aware that before the tax there were bags dumped *everywhere*. Drive through ballymun and it was literally like a plastic bag landfill.

10. Are we sure it didn’t just drown?

11. Is he okay ?

12. Every news article I see about plastic in the oceans does nothing bit complain about it while not informing the reader of anytech or breakthroughs in removing said Plastic.

    There was one kid that had an innovative solution, but you hardly see anything about him anymore. Where as gretta gets all the attention for nothing more than shouting at at few politicians and not going g to school.
