Thousands mobilize to clear plastic spill in northeast England
Thousands of volunteers in north-east England have been collecting plastic nurdles washing up on beaches following a ship collision at the Port of Tyne that spilled up to 25 tonnes of these tiny plastic pellets.

The cleanup effort is in response to public anger and promises from local authorities to hold shipowners accountable for the pollution.
