Today's show has had a spotlight on the pollution and harm plastic is doing to marine life.

In the South Island there's a different type of rubbish being cleared off beaches, hats.  

Te Ananu bus driver Bruce Fraser is selling, online, all the hats he's found along the shoreline around Milford sound.

He's going to put any money made from the sales to the Fiordland Coastal Cleanup organisation.

Bruce talks to Jesse about the collection he's amassed.

You can buy one of his hats here.
