A no-longer-so-new kind of tree … a new alien species that we can’t seem to be able to get rid of any time soon. The Greed Tree. Soon there will be more of the Greed Tree than the Natural Trees.

Trash Everywhere!

Many times, we find what is called accidental or unintentional litter, which usually falls from full up trash can, collection vehicles and pickup trucks or trash that is blown away by the wind. But this is surely not accidental. No one like to find trash at his door but it has to start with us – to dispose of trash properly.

Irresponsibility and egoism at its best. When one has just eaten out and left all their trash there for others to clean up. All that was needed was for everyone to pick their own litter and throw it in the bin a couple of meters away.

When they were called disposable cups, they didn’t mean that once you’re ready you can leave them lying around!! It’s already bad enough that they are single use cups … but leaving them around littering the area is even worse.

Pollution from vehicles harms our health and contain greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Negative health effects include lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory infections. We must use more sustainable means of transport.

Hidden … in Plain Sight!

Why do people litter? Often, people litter simply because there isn’t a trash can anywhere nearby. Rather than uncomfortably carry their trash away with them, it’s easier to leave it behind. Such an irresponsible way of thinking. That is so lazy and careless. Carelessness makes people throw rubbish anywhere without thinking about the consequences of their actions. Many people do not realize the negative impact of littering on the environment.

Litter is dangerous to animals because they might ingest it, in addition to being unsightly and can ruin our experience of nature. Litter everywhere frequently finds its way into the sea.

Full Up!!

Another bring-in site that is full up! It is both a good sign and a bad sign. A good sign because it means that people are disposing their waste properly … but it also means that we are using and throwing away too much plastic.

Trash thrown irresponsibly all ends up in the sea in some way or another. Poor creatures like turtles end up eating this trash and dying because of irresponsible people. Dispose of trash properly and use less plastic!

We love being outside especially near the sea. We cannot understand why people always end up leaving their trash behind irresponsibly and dirty such a beautiful place. That’s why we often go to clean up – we want our beach to remain beautiful.
