Used fishing line recycling.
My kids saw the devastating effects of fishing line with a bird which got hung up. As a result our family would like to educate our community about responsible fishing line recycling. We would like to show our kids and their friends that even one person can make environmental change. Fishing is a great pastime and even better for a family to enjoy. But fishing line does not decompose and is virtually invisible to animals. It can cause unaware animals horrible crippling or even death. Our family decided we would like to educate our community about the importance of responsible recycling of fishing line. Prices of line left behind can be a huge entanglement danger. We live in renfrew county east of algonquin park. This education will require lobbying our county to recycle fishing line ( this type of plastic already is but not the line as it does not have the symbol on it) creating recycle bins, getting organizations we are a part of to partner with us for clean up days and recycle bin assembly days, public promotion of the program to anglers, resorts and retailers. Through this project we hope to show our children and their friends that even one person can make environmental change.
