That's because you are an asshole, W'hine. Every plastic bottle, every
empty can, every piece of scrap, is picked up, put into trash bags, and
taken to the dump. We separate out the plastic bottles and cans. I'd bet
we cause less pollution than those marine diesels of yours do, since
they are well-known for dumping out a large quantity of toxic gases and
solid substances.

—— doesn’t your “boat” have twin Volvo diesels?

The boat who is pollution less cast the first stone...


These 3 star 4 strokes are pretty close. If you give me credit for all
the trash we pull out of the water I think I am better than net zero.
This was just our first pass down the river after Irma.. We made a
pile like this 3 or 4 times.

We pick up stuff every time we go out tho. It is mostly trash but I
will never have to buy PFDs, fenders, boat hooks, landing nets or just
about anything that can fall off a boat. I always drop the plastic
furniture we find on someone's dock who looks like they need it.
