If you know anyone who smokes, please talk to them about throwing away their butts properly.
I just picked up 27 filtered butts at a mixed-use wetlands park where office workers take breaks. I really believe most smokers who drop butts don’t realize they’re dropping a wad of microplastics *with all the toxins they didn’t want in their bodies* directly into the food chain. Talking to friends about it non-aggressively might change their behavior in this small, crucial way.🤷🏻♀️
@faerye I don't smoke anymore, but yeah this is so immature. pls don't flick your butts
@inherentlee sorry, I always think in binominal names cause they are highly specific too the species and people who don't speak English can also find the animal. and I usually add the common name but forgot this time. but yeah double crested cormorant is the English common name
@inherentlee its def one of the five subspecies of Nannopterum auritum
@lethalbit sizequeen-endian. the biggest wins
