Nobody remembers the issue when 30,000 rubber ducks were lost in the sea and some turned up 2,000 miles away in Alaska? Okay this was "controlled" but there's always that chance someone slips up.

It was controlled, the ducks were guided and recollected.

They are picked up later.

[@wikilix86]

Correction! It's not plastic, it's rubber. 😂

[@Blue_FalconGirl]

​@@wikilix86 No they are not rubber. I read an article out of concern and they are definitely plastic. It is also impossible to collect all of them.

[@Blue_FalconGirl]

This is pollution at a disgusting level! 😡😡😡 Before you say they collect them, they definitely cannot collect them all. Some are missed and it contributes to the levels of microplastics in the ecosystem.

[@luxfood7352]

should throwing all this plastic into the sea be funny?😦😦

[@agustinbarquero8898]

Nothing in this video claims this is funny. Please read carefully.

[@Noel_13]

1) It's not the sea,
2) They are picked up after the race,
3) Who said it was funny? It's for charity.

[@Blue_FalconGirl]

​@@Noel_13Yaya! Pollution for charity!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Common sense should tell us that not all of those ducks are collected! 70,000 and you honestly believe that they collected them all?

[@paalbrudevoll6330]

There is no doubt. The western culture is in steep decline.
