I know several mines that are full of bottles, but at least they don't biodegrade. The cars in GB & Manor Farm have mostly rotted away now, but you can still see the remains (they were identifiable 20 years ago).

Some of the South Wales rivers are festooned with what looks like toilet roll bunting, but turns out to be shredded shopping bags (amongst the bikes, shopping trollies & engine blocks).

A very bad example in Mexico where locals dump there trash in sinkholes.

I wonder if Pitlamp has the original piece of ?Green Tape? from Notts 2? A classic example of plastic pollution!

Ah - you mean that piece of insulation tape from Green Tape Inlet. 'Fraid not JAA. I'm still wondering how it got there when no-one had been there before.

Does anyone have any good images of visible plastic pollution in caves?

i dont have any - but the CNCC and or NE [ andrew hinde ] - SHOULD have pics from ibbeth peril one

we [ carious caver volunneers - and a group of scouts ] - did a days cleanup and rebuilt the entrance " gate " to minimize further rubbish intrusion

it was sometime prior to 2016

appologies cannot remember the exact date :

but kay easton , andrew hinde and " some scout leader bloke "

were incharge - and i know numerous before // after and look at the pile of shiite we moved - pics were taken

someone must have them

Wob - I see a link to your article/blog appeared on the Geomorphologly Rules page.  Always wondered if links like this actually attract much interest/views - did it?

Cheers
