Aaagh! Cable Ties!

Aaagh! The cable-tie phenomenon!

These days every event down at the beach leaves us with an epidemic of the single use only pieces of fish-killing plastic (thanks Nexba Water Polo By the Sea and A Moveable Feast, to name only two of many guilty parties).

For those of us, and there are many, who like to pick up a bit of rubbish along the way (allowing us a bit of self-rightousness to get us through the day; “If I save one fish …!”), the cable-tie has defeated us.

Why aren’t the organisers of these events made to complete the task of picking up after themselves?

By the way, don’t get us started on straws. They suck!
