The 'nurdles' are back! Wait - Brent Lindeque - explain?
Updated | By Danny Painter
Every week our Good Things Guy joins us to remind us of all the good things on our planet! And some of the not so good ones - like nurdels!
But, if like me, you have NO idea what that is - we hopped on a Zoom so he could explain!
Nurdles are small plastic pellets about the size of a lentil. Countless billions of them are used each year to make nearly all our plastic products. It is important these pellets are collected as our coastal wildlife are confusing it with food and ingesting the toxic nurdles. To help out, all you need to do is head down to the beach nearest to you with a kitchen sieve and sift the nurdles out of the beach sand.- Tyler Leigh Vivier
