On my own I've looked into RF tags & GPS tags for some drift tests. But always the range is too small or the price is too high. I'm still looking.<br /><br />Re A, agree. But we're plastic silly-season right now. -Everything- is plastic, and it's just getting worse. Re B (love the pun), either flushed down the toilet, or blown/pulled out of a trash can. (A 3rd option - applied on the beach, in 30 degree weather - we're just not going to go there.)<br /><br />Our city's got a great Web site showing all city services on a map, including storm-drain outlets. One of my plans is to check out some of those outlets and see what household stuff has come out of it.Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432284983902312892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156859352292058715.post-64213289933899742672010-12-18T17:28:23.818-05:002010-12-18T17:28:23.818-05:00a) I do not understand why plastic tampon applicat...a) I do not understand why plastic tampon applicators are still manufactured when there are so many other, less-plasticky options.<br /><br />b) I cannot fathom (no pun intended) how a plastic tampon applicator winds up on a beach.<br /><br />c) Is it time to put sat tags on all this stuff as soon as it is in the hands of the consumer, so we can see where it began its journey????laurageorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196247338492907152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156859352292058715.post-75074819482591347002010-12-10T00:16:00.483-05:002010-12-10T00:16:00.483-05:00Harry -

I have a long list of "would be OK not to find..."<br /><br />The rope. I found a plastic bag like that recently. Ugh. What lies beneath, right?<br /><br />Composing my recycling post now!<br /><br />keep it up!<br />SaraSara Bayleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874563094064523797noreply@blogger.com
