From burger wrappers to masks, bird nests tell story of throwaway culture https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/04/from-burger-wrappers-masks-bird-nests-story-throwaway-culture #Animalbehaviour #Environment #Netherlands #Pollution #Worldnews #Plastics #Wildlife #Animals #Biology #Science #Europe #Birds #Waste

Lies a tale of waste in the sky,
Burger wrappers and masks,
In a landfill's dark tasks,
Mother Nature mourns with a sigh.
