Thirty pounds of garbage was col-
lected on about two kms. of shore-
line. Cigarette filters (320) were the
most common item found during the
cleanup. They are made of cellulose
acetate (a thermoplastic used in
the production' of photographic
film).
Cigarette filters take from two to
five years to degrade and release
toxic chemicals when they do final-
ly break down.

wire and become injured or be-
come unable to escape their preda-
tors.
Animals may ingest litter and can
suffer internal injury, intestinal
blockage or starvation. Swans, loons
and herons frequently mistake lead
shot and lead fishing lures for food.
This results in lead poisoning and
death.
Litter may affect humans by pol-

I would like to express my appreci-
ation to all those who have provided
me with information to be included
in the Auburn News these past two

However due to personal reasons I
cannot continue writing for the paper
even though several people have
already expressed their wish for me
to do so. '
Anyone who wishes to pick up and
continue writing for Auburn please
'contact me or The Citizen.
I do hope someone will come for-
ward soon to continue the enjoyment
for others.

Whenever you are walking along
the beach make it a habit to carry a
bag so you can collect-the litter you
see. The best way to reduce aquatic
garbage is to eliminate it at its
source. Choose products with less
packaging and recycle and reuse
items.
