Hard to clear up, mistaken for food by seabirds and fish. And these creatures can choke or starve as a result.
And then there is the food chain issue...

I *really* hope that events don't make this pastor a latter day Martin Niemöller. But the number & identity of prominent people currently excusing or denying Musk's Nazi salutes does not fill me with hope.
