 Indestructibles
http://www.abc.net.au/science/features/indestructibles/
A convenient carrier or a marine killer? Heather Catchpole takes a look
at why plastic bags should no longer be tossed out with the garbage.

indestructible. And the number that ends up in the environment each year
is growing.
