You Too Can Hunt Nurdles!

Unlike snipes you might have been told to hunt as a kid, there are such things as nurdles. These tiny pieces of plastic are deadly for marine and animal life as they often resemble bits of food and once ingested, these plastic bits fill the animals stomach and do not degrade or pass through the digestive tract. An animal with a full stomach of garbage will die of starvation over time. That's not even considering the chemicals from the plastics that eventually make their way into the food chain.

But there are some things you can do to help.

Fidra, an environmental charity organization, provides tools and resources so you can help remove the threat of nurdles. To learn more, check out their website: The Great Nurdle Hunt

Happy Hunting!
