That’s what Rob Arnold found while visiting the usually beautiful Tregantle beach
A blanket of microplastics covering the shoreline
So Rob and a group of volunteers started cleaning…
And in one day they managed to scavenge 35 bags of trash
“I am fairly used to it as I have been doing it for four years, but the way it was this time was a shock to me, it was desperate”
Among the trash, Rob found all kinds of stuff, most of which was plastic
Like a battalion of toy soldiers
And a collection of LEGO diving flippers
All of which get a new life in Rob’s hands, who is also a local artist on the side
Who turns the trash found on the beaches into artistic sculptures
Which are now being exposed in the Plastic Age exposition at Liskeard Museum

consumer doesn't dump plastic into ocean - it's clearly 100% garbage disposal companies fault who use ocean as landfill.
