It’s been a long time since I’ve been on Happisburgh beach, which is a real shame since I live less than a mile away, but I often walk the dog heading inland which takes me half an hour, rather than the two hours or so if I go to the cliff because I get carried away.

There was more than the usual amount of flotsam washed up at Low Light, reminding me of David Shukman’s article on BBC news about the new battle for Midway - plastic rubbish washing up and killing Alabatrosses (Albatrosii?)

It is absolutely disgusting the amount of crap we leave behind in our environment - I often return from walks with hands full of plastic bags and such like found in hedges and on the side of the road. That we’re also polluting somewhere so remote is horrifying!

I don’t know what the answer is, but there must be a way to reduce our consumption of plastic, to recycle more, and to better dispose of what we don’t / can’t recycle.
