题目内容:
Brigitte Barthelemy was walking along the seashore just north of France's Bordeaux wine region when she discovered a bottle lying among some seashells.Inside were two pieces of paper.One contained a hand-drawn picture of a seagull,while the other was a message showing how litter in the ocean is often deadly to the water birds.
The bottle is the brainchild of George Boorujy.From 2011-2013,the artist dropped over two dozen bottles into the ocean from a Staten Island beach in New York.Each contained an image of a water bird and a message similar to the one Brigitte found.Boorujy says he was inspired to take action after becoming aware of the effect the carelessly thrown plastic has on wildlife.
Researchers say that around 90% of seabirds have plastic in their stomachs.Many chicks(雏鸟)die because their mothers unintentionally feed them bits of plastic along with their food.Boorujy hopes his message will raise awareness about the danger that seabirds face.He also enjoys the opportunity to give away his art and create a unique experience for the finder.
Over the years,the artist has received calls from lots of people that have discovered his bottles.However,they were all found close to Staten Island,making Brigitte's discovery even more special.
No matter how the bottle reached France,its message has had a big influence on Brigitte.She not only plans to be more respectful of the environment but contacted(联系)the local bird association to see how they could help. While receiving a message in a bottle can certainly help inspire people,It should not be necessary to remind us how dangerous our careless habits are for the marine mammals(海洋哺乳动物)and seabirds.So remember to reuse, recycle and most importantly,reduce.
