Dozens of volunteers used strainers to sift sand at beaches in northwestern Spain on Tuesday to collect millions of tiny plastic pellets that have washed up in recent days, endangering wildlife.Measuring less than five millimetres (0.2 inches) in size, they are not always readily visible except when they wash up in unusually huge quantities, as has been the case along the northwestern Spanish coast, and are notoriously hard to collect.
Greenpeace and other environmental groups calculate the total amount of pellets lost to be in the millions.
