Hi!
I know the weather is getting nice and that might lead to walks along the river with a six pack of beer or pop so a reminder to please, please cut the six pack rings and place them in a bin.
I have found a few of these lying fully intact on the ground already and the outdoor season has barely begun. With so many ducks and geese around the area I would really hate to see one of them or their babies getting caught up in these plastic rings (not to mention a cute little bunny) - it would be cruel even for the most evil of geese.
I realize the people just leaving these on the ground probably won't care about this post so for the rest of you please keep your eyes peeled for any lying around!
I bought a six pack of iced tea that had a plastic six ring, and after I put them in the fridge I started to cut it up. Then I thought, they have to be made of something safe by now, shouldn't they? Especially a big company like Coke/Pepsi.
Whenever I go to the grocery store the idea of having to carry 6 individual 20oz Gatorades makes me nauseous. God forbid a 12 pack or even a 24 pack of 12oz electrolyte enhancers. The same goes for any carbonated beverage. Coke, Pepsi, Water you name it. The 6 pack ring comes in clutch for lugging drinks from the store home, from home to baseball games, birthday parties, picnics, and more.
NOW! Don't hate me, I make sure to cut every single hole out of every pack I buy and I recycle everything that I can. The sea turtles must live! But I can't be without one of my favorite multi-beverage accoutrements.
Thank you,
Ron

I shouldn't have too, the idea is unacceptable to me that as a citizen in the mid west I must still concern myself with my recyclable waste making it to a coast.
Due to quarantine, I've accumulated quite a few of the plastic six pack holders for cans. Anyone know if they can be used for anything or if someone can repurpose them rather than throw them in the recycling
I was just thinking about how everytime I have the plastic left over from a sixer I cut the rings to make sure no lovable sea animals get their heads caught in them. But I was thinking, I’m in a landlocked state, and I’m pretty sure we burn our trash. If this is the case, what are the actual odds of one of these uncut rings making it to the ocean?
