Default BBC London News : Crabs in the Thames eating plastic

A University Professor

Showed a crab from the Thames River
full of plastic in its tummy.


[Prof Dave Morritt has been studying
Thames crabs - and their innards - for a decade]

Reporter Tom Edwards:
[We are on the foreshore of the Thames at
low tide in Fulham, right next to
Fulham FC's home, Craven Cottage.
The water has gone out very quickly and
left behind a very dirty secret. Plastic.
There is plastic everywhere.

Plastic bottles, sunglasses, cotton buds,
wet wipes, food wrappers and cartons.
Everything you could imagine that is
made of plastic is here.
That all of this is ending up in the Thames,
regarded as London's jewel, is, frankly,
disgusting and depressing.]

I say:
They should clean it up
The Mayor should set up a big team
to clear it up.
Even if money is tight
many will do it for free.

Why did the crab cross the road?

Spoiler:

To get to the other tide.

Seriously though have some people forgotten what a bin is used for?
