Massive Rise in Balloon Trash on Michigan Beaches – FBHW Segment 16
Today on Segment 16, the guys check out a story about a confused woman who is sick and tired of all the balloon trash she's finding on Michigan beaches. She uses the phrase "fake news" and everything, so you know this is a real crisis.
Even though the story only shows one balloon, and a ton of other kinds of trash, the story, and the woman, totally focuses on the hazard all these released balloons are wreaking on the environment. "Plastic, plastic, plastic!" She cries!
Wait, aren't balloons rubber?
Anyway, you can check out the complete story over at WOOD-TV, and find out abot "non-native invasive species". Wouldn't any "native species" by definition be "non-invasive"? Or are they just trying REALLY REALLY emphasize that something is SUPER BAD?
