Shifting to a sub-topic: If I know that my trash is being taken to a landfill far from any oceans, do I still have to cut my six-pack holders?
And by extension, if I know that my trash is being dumped in the ocean, is snipping my six-pack holders really enough? Shouldn't I be far more worried about all the trash being dumped in the ocean?
And as long as I'm wondering, are there any studies or reports that show six pack holders are a significant threat? I certainly understand when anglers are advised not to discard such items in the areas they are fishing in - that's common sense. But is there really a documented crisis stemming from the holders that most of us are tossing in the trash? (And shouldn't these plastic doohickeys be going into recycle bins anyway?)
