Polluting by NOAA, 12 million, PLASTIC fishing registry cards

Submitted on June 23, 2010 - 9:34am.

I am an advid fisherman who has completed the National Saltwater Angler Registry as required by NOAA. On the NOAA website, they state that 12 million plus Anglers have registered so far. They will receive a PLASTIC registration card FOR THIS YEAR. I am an not a Greenpeace/Tree hugging type person, but it is just wrong to dispense that much plastic, that is going to be carried around our Oceans.

Solution: Send out HEAVY GAUGE PAPER registration cards each year that have ben made from recycled paper. They are better for the environment and set a good example by NOAA.
