This is a recent collection from a 1-hour walk around town. A few pieces here (pen, hanger, lego, tupperware, tail light...) illustrate the crushing and breaking happening to larger pieces of plastic that end up in the parking lots, gutters, streets, and fields - As the plastic grows increasingly brittle from sunlight/variant temperatures, they're run over by cars and big commercial mowers, breaking into smaller and smaller pieces, until they're the ideal size to be carried along to storm drains and creeks by wind and water.

Shout out to the humble wooden spoon - bottom right corner of the photo above -

Remember those?!

I'm pushing for a comeback of these original (and genuinely compostable) utensils.
