Morning started with Tracey, Kevin and I heading in to town for a meeting that I had called with all involved in this plastic disaster. I was growing tired of the usual nonsense that goes on when dealing with governments, where no one wants to take responsibility, or needs to “clarify and get back to you”,add to the mix ‘Agents’ representing shipping companies that have had the misfortune of losing 6 x 40ft containers overboard and “trashing Hong Kong” with billions of plastic pellets and the wheels of action turn even slower. Finally add a good dose of “Insurance” agents and the wheels seem to STOP! Hence why I called for a meeting all around one table to thrash it out face to face!
The wheels of the Government are starting to move. We found a team from the Marine Dept cleaning the beach at the North Plaza of Discovery Bay. When we spoke with the officers they told us that they have been given an extensive schedule of beaches to clean, working in conjunction with the FEHD. We heard from FEHD and they will be tackling “Nurdle Ground Zero” on the East coast of Lamma on Monday. They are mobilising whatever they can to prevent the problem escalating. We need to also help as members of the public, we cannot afford to leave it all to the Government to do, hit the beaches and clean, clean, clean…….
