I have one word this month and the word is
Ok so I know this refers to literal microscopic plastic, but imagine a tideline covered in every kind of plastic and most being bottle cap sized and smaller.
@scifer said that could even be a new icon.
The recent winds and sprig tides brought in SO much ancient plastic, it was somewhat incredible. And I'd argue my local beach wasn't nearly as badly affected as some of the coat lines elsewhere.
I've not seen too many plastic straws, or plastic sticks from a cotton bud/lolly pop for a long while. But this last couple of weeks I've seen so many that have either been lost out at sea or buried in mud and sand and recently uncovered.
Just so many.
Also, a lot of medical supplies, including mouth syringes, needles (Don't worry, made the sure the points were gone or put it inside something and was careful) and emergency water supplies. Not sure how much I've removed but quite a few bin bags worth at least. I don't really photograph my bags often, but I have debated if I should bring luggage scales and weigh them in future (But I know waterlogged stuff can throw off the numbers), because when I do take photos, I don't think it really shows off the amount I removed.
Even stranger was this red crumbly stuff that kept washing up. Made me think of a playground foundation or aquarium pebbles, but no idea what it actually was.
But in the many, many MANY bag of rubbish I removed this month I have found a few 'treasures' or interesting bits and I want to share some of those finds but in a separate post
stay tuned!

Thinking about medical waste in my setting.
The systems that go into it are:
The world consists of Energy (spelled with a capital E to separate it from physical energy), which is a substance that can either calculate information or perform an affect according to an inputted calculation.
When large masses of this Energy are in an area, they tend to combine and start sharing total information, resulting in a soul. The planets are essentially giant souls which define the laws of physics in an area around them.
A couple of these planets decided to split their already well formed souls into small pieces, which became the moons for other planets, and in the same way a moon split itself and became dragons, and a dragon split itself and became humans and other small grade spirits.
Each human's soul is connected to their body as an anchor that keeps the soul hovering in the upper atmosphere, where it is easier to replenish with Energy from solar winds, and this Energy is free to move to the body on the surface, fueling a healing factor which almost all humans have.
Back to the other spirits, especially small ones are essentially capable of converting small amounts of free Energy into models of themselves, with this class of spirits generally referred to as viral. There are two types of viral spirits, Flame and Chaos.
Flame spirits work by converting free Energy into copies of itself, which glow and appear as colored flame for the most part.
Chaos spirits are generally heavily focused on individual types of Energy use, such as gravitational manipulation, or in this case healing, when exposed to the specific type of Energy use they are associated with, they interfere with it by taking Energy and forming copies of themselves, eventually overpowering the effect.
The final important things to talk about is materials, of which water is the most important, generally energy will be stored in ordered materials, like gems, or materials which move visible light around in certain ways, such as opals and glass. The major exception is water, which can hold energy in such a way that it keeps little structure.
================================================
Energy can be used in healing spells, which is extremely important for hospitals who tend to use large amounts of them, however doing so naturally draws in Chaos spirits, who can disrupt treatment and cause detrimental health effects if left in the patients body.
To prevent this, a method of washing equipment, personnel and on occasion patients is used. It involves lightly flowing water semi-saturated with energy, drawing both types of viral spirits off of the person or thing, this water saturated with viral spirits is difficult to dispose of, as it can essentially be likened to industrial runoff so storage is preferred until it can be either refined through lead filters or used as an energy source.
In the meantime the most effective materials for storing the medical waste is clay pots, which is notably impermeable to both Energy and spirits, along with alloys and mixtures of gold, which are generally more structurally sound and less prone to breaking.
This property of gold is one of its main sources of value.
Also as a bonus note, an underground storage vault of this stuff that had been hit by an earthquake and has to be contained is the closest thing my setting has to a poison swamp from dark souls.

I said I'd slowly upload my finds whilst beach cleaning over the years... and I really should get back on that, lol.
So have some finds from I think the winter of 2019 to early 2020. After a storm, I kept finding bits of medical supplies, including an unused catheter. The (what I think) is an IV bag is (I think) in Dutch and did contain sodium chloride.

Here's Kaiser Permanente telling you to improperly throw medical waste out...
"How do you get rid of medicines?
Throw them in the trash
Flush them down the sink or toilet"
Granted, they go on to say there are better ways to take care of medicine disposal but to make these suggestions at all is a bad look. Throwing medicine in the trash or putting it in the septic system is how towns and cities end up with pharmaceuticals in drinking water.
Don't do what asshole Kaiser says. You have the internet. Find a place that will take your medicine. Don't just throw it away without a second thought.
