Drummond McGinn a student at Blackrock College, Co. Dublin believes passionately that we need to take personal responsibility for the amount of plastic that ends up in our oceans, affecting our eco systems and us all in the long term. Drummond says we need to change how we use plastic and to become more aware of the amount of plastic we use and put to waste. The problems of plastic in the Pacific Ocean has opened his eyes inspiring his belief that the solution needs to be addressed first closer to home and so he organised a local beach clean-up. His message is think before you use plastic. Drummond McGinn a student at Blackrock College, Co.
