Interesting table, Aussieblue. Would you say that most of that stuff was blown/floated out to sea or was chucked overboard from boats and ships? The cigarette butts surely would be tossed from cruise ships or merchant ships, wouldn’t they?
I had dinner at the local club the other night and noticed they’ve replaced the plastic drinking straws with thick cardboard straws.
