I wasn't saying that it counts for nothing, just that if I stop using such =
products and if so does everyone in the world in countries that don't dump =
rubbish at sea, thousands of birds will still ingest stuff dumped by countr=
ies that do.
By "dumping at sea" I mean instead of taking a city's rubbish and burning o=
r burying it, they just dump it all at sea. If it's true (don't know if it =
is) then the quantities must be millions of times the amounts that get into=
the sea accidentally.

It is a little like saying "My vote doesn't count so i wont vote anymore"
Plastic bags, Clipper lighters, Beer and pop can rings all get thrown overb=
oard on ships too as well as dumping in rivers. While you may think your sm=
all contribution does nothing, throw all of your litter into your garden an=
d then take stock of what you have in a year out there. Multiply that by th=
e same mentality of others and we have what is happening now......
Never think that your contribution offers nothing in life, Believe me it do=
es. And to throw this back on topic, I want to be able to record majestic b=
irds like this while i'm alive....
