Letter: Fewer bags, just as bad

Published 2 October 2004

From Stuart Lowe

I don’t wish to trivialise the fact that the Minke whale washed up in Normandy was found to have a selection of plastic bags and packaging in its gut (11 September, p 30). But the actual weight of the debris was 800 grams, not 800 kilograms.
