Star - “The
tiny danger lurking in the waters of Lake Ontario”.
This is the actual link, but it does not work, some clever programmer went
to the trouble to deactivate the link when it is posted to Facebook;
what is up with that? ...but you can Google it to find the story. We
drink this stuff, our kids drink the stuff, it causes cancer etc etc. I know that alone won't motivate us to do anything; but
when we come to the realization King Salmon filter this stuff
everyday of their lives and will ultimately affect how big they grow.
Now we have a problem.
This
is not a new hydro dynamic downrigger weight. It is a Manta, from New
York. These bright kids from New York took it upon themselves to run
it on Lake Ontario. They found twice as many micro plastic beads than
was found on the "Plastic Island" in the Pacific; the
island the size of New Jersey. I tried to copy link to the story, the
link fell apart when I tried to post it. It is not a new story, we
like our plastic folks, it is that simple, and we are willing to ruin the largest freshwater
supply on the planet, heck, the whole ocean for that matter. Every
tackle shop we talked to North America told us; "we will not
stock your new spoon until you put it in a plastic wrapper". I
am really hoping that will never happen. The anglers in Scandinavia
agreed to blades only; no plastic package.
