This is why I do what I do.
It's always, a plastic bag, plastic water bottle and a washed up mylar balloon.
These are the 3 most common things I find washed up on the beach but also pollutes the environment. Everywhere you look there's a plastic bag in a bush, hanging from a branch, or one rolling around in the parking lot. You see empty bottles of water everywhere. There's always a balloon in a tree or causing a power outage or harming an animal!!
