In this sideshow, you see at the top rivers flowing under a bridge. Each river has objects floating in it, on its way to the sea. In the foreground is an AI generated image from Pixabay which has been constructed to illustrate where our plastic and metal garbage finishes up. Whilst some rubbish will sink, a huge amount finds its way into a GYRE. This is a colossal trash can in the middle of the ocean. Of course, on its way to the gyre, some rubbish will disintegrate leaving micro plastic particles which are finding their way into the stomachs and digestive systems of fish, other marine life and sea-birds - and now even into our own human digestive systems.To bring this massage home, ping pong balls are rolled across the gyre, which has a slight incline and score simply according to the width of the bridge over the river. To make the game slightly less predictable, the gyre surface is not smooth.
With this game in mind, let’s be very, very careful not to drop our litter, whatever it is in or near a watercourse.
