The Post Office can help by using paper belly bands for posties to hold letters together, as the red elastic bands (used in their millions) get wrapped around hedgehogs or ducks feed them to ducklings (thinking they are worms). One man found one in his cat litter tray and says the Post Office (like everyone else) should be fined for littering.
The obvious choice would be paper belly bands. These could be made from recycled paper and easily clasp together bundles of letters, without need for rubber bands. It’s such a simple and affordable idea, and could save thousands of wildlife getting trapped in elastic bands each year.
