Read this last night to my ten-year-old daughter and felt the need to share. I picked up this article, not having any idea that it related to plastic....

Essentially - adult shearwaters pick up food from the surface of the ocean and deliver it to young in burrows on Lord Howe Island. There is a very high mortality rate of young birds - not making it to the water. A research team has been opening the bellies of these birds and finding a huge array of macro-plastics. It seems the parent birds are confusing their normal foods, with plastic pieces, ingesting, and then regurgitating into their young. The pervasiveness of plastics in our ocean and in our fauna is Incredibly disturbing.
