  • When I found this vintage sky-diving POOPA-TROOPER toy on the beach, I was hoping it was the version from the 1970s that I remember playing with as a child. Rocky, the Recycling Pup from Paw Patrol, must have been off duty. His catchphrase is “Don’t lose it—reuse it!” But somebody definitely didn’t listen… and lost it. We’ll be talking trash tonight in the Washed Ashore exhibition space at the San Diego Natural History Museum during Nat at Night. Our ocean on the ropes… M is for millions of microplastics. Morning After Mess beach cleanups in San Diego county on the dirtiest beach day of the year! Never-ending nurdles… This Statue of Liberty created with plastic marine debris was made by 10-year-old several years ago. It’s still one of my all time favorites. Marine debris mystery: I ran a reverse-image search on this wrapper, and AI identified it as packaging from a fluorescent pink permanent paint marker sold under the Daiso brand for the Brazilian market.
