I agree with Sally and Magpie, it is sad. I make a 200% effort to never toss anything except in the garbage or recycle.. 'pack it in, pack it out,' even in an urban setting.
This is (mostly) trash that washed up on the coast, not trash that has been left there by careless campers. About 1/3 of the bottles had Japanese labels... I imagine our trash washes up on their shores, too. An unfortunate, unintentional international exchange.
Sad. :-(
ReplyDeleteGood post! Sad isn't it that people just don't seem to understand or care.

ReplyDeleteWow. Yikes. This is incredible. Such a shame that there would be so much trash... A fantastic post!
ReplyDeleteThis is a sad commentary on how thoughtless our species has become. (I won't be there just yet . . . )

ReplyDeleteYep. Rarely means its gone. However, if there was a 20c refund per drinking bottle, we might get some action.
ReplyDeleteSo true, and what insight to take a photo of something that most of us would never have spent a second thinking about as we passed by.
