Old plastic bottles are washing up on a beach in Scotland. The bottles come from Canada. They are from the 1960s and 1970s.
David Warner cleans the beach. Last year, he found 42 bottles. This year, he already found hundreds of bottles. He also found over 300,000 small pieces of plastic foam.
The plastic is bad for birds and sea animals. Strong winds bring the old plastic to the beach. David wants to make art from the plastic. He wants people to think about where their plastic goes.
