I took these pics at a beach in #Sitges #Barcelona (before quarantine). I& #39;d been reading @lucy siegle & #39;s book "Turning The Tide On Plastic" & suspected they were #nurdles. I spent hours gathering them - it didn& #39;t make a dent in it which is heartbreaking. 1)
As an artist, I& #39;m drawn to the perversity of the visuals - beautiful & deadly at the same time. (You can see bird& #39;s footprints following trail of what they think is food). I& #39;ve kept the nurdles (& other #microplastic & waste) in a bag at home until I know what to do with them.2)
I planned to make something with them - a way of raising awareness. I& #39;ve since discovered that they can be a source of E. coli. Could anyone tell me if that& #39;s correct please? 3)
If so, how could I clean them? Is it safe to make something with them? Last thing I want is Ecoli while avoiding C19.
