A marine biologist has recorded more types of plastic bottle washed up on Guernsey’s beaches than the total variety of fish in UK waters.

In the last seven years Richard Lord said he had logged more than 330 types - the same number as the total of different fish species recorded by the UK government, external.

He said: “Plastic water bottles are a single use item that get discarded in unimaginable amounts and it litters the environment all over the world.”

    Unbelievable how you consumers are too lazy to recycle! Unreal, the recycling process is the program that creates the cost driven system away from the poor, poor companies and onto the end user and their communities and…tsk tsk, you don’t even do it.

    Don’t you care about the environment?

    Shame.
