Hope is the last to die Bernadette :-)

Thank you, António. It is truly a global problem, both on land and at sea. Let's hope we can help raise awareness that leads to some global solutions.

Thank you, Daniele. This is such an important issue to me. I am so pleased that I can help PN spread awareness.

Very nice spotting Bernadette,perfect to the occasion,congrats on the SOTD and thanks for sharing.
I've allready join your Plastic Pollution mission,the plastic problem is worldwide problem.

Congratulations Bernadette, we've chosen this spotting and your Plastic Pollution mission to illustrate Earth Day 2018, which has a special focus on plastic:

"oday is #EarthDay! Earth Day originated in the US 48 years ago out of concern about the negative impacts of industrial development. It has now turned into a global event mobilizing over a billion people in 192 countries. The 2018 edition of Earth Day comes with a special focus on plastic pollution and its devastating effects on water and land ecosystems, impacting health for all living organisms.
