"Cigarette filters are made of a plastic called cellulose acetate. When tossed into the environment, they dump not only that plastic, but also the nicotine, heavy metals, and many other chemicals" nationalgeographic.com/envir… #plasticpollution
“I am shocked that I was able to collect this collection (705 pieces) in just a short 60-90 minutes in a small stretch of coastline (20 feet or so)”
This was the largest amount of plastic we received, collected by @amyventures on Sandy Hook Beach, New Jersey, USA
@MinoriesArt
Our #WashedUp exhibition is up and running throughout August at the #beyondplastic exhibtion in @MinoriesArt 🌊
We received so many bottles that we couldn’t put them all on display within our budget & time frame - however, because of the amount of enthusiasm we’ve received with this project we will be continuing to collect plastic and build displays for future exhibitions and pop up events
Thank you to everyone for taking part - your work is already showing people the scale of the problem and motivating change (we will keep you posted!)

Found washed up after winter storms, the giraffe in this montage is thought to be from a 1971 packet of Kellogg's Coco Krispies. Nearly 50 years old. They were also given away with packets of Puffa Puffa rice.
