As explained in this press release, environmental activists in Calhoun County have signed paperwork to begin clean up of local waterways:

"The Phase I cleanup requires the excavation of soils and removal of plants that are littered with plastic nurdles. The soils removed will fill 1,824 20-yard dump trucks – approximately 32,840 tons of soil and debris. A nurdle is a hard, small, spherical pellet, about the size of a baby aspirin and is produced from petrochemicals. Nurdles are used in the manufacture of plastics."

I think it is an important step, clearly for presenting complaints, the problem will not be solved; we should all do it if we see something of this kind. In addition to the complaints, there are many steps to follow, such as organizing protests, taking care of daily consumption or becoming aware that a sustainable life is better for everyone.
