Just love this picture - if you can say that of something like this when mankind seems to be so incapable of safeguarding and disposing of their waste correctly.  https://friendsoftheearth.uk/plasticsAs crows can be trained to retrieve items perhaps gulls can be too - after all they are famous for stealing packets of crisps from seaside shops!  They've been filmed.https://www.businessinsider.com/crows-trained-pick-up-trash-france-theme-park-2018-8

The woman who started this is working in Hastings.We need enterprising entrepreneurs like her to make a difference.  These will help keep those sleeping rough outside warm an dry. https://crisppacketproject.com/
