I cannot understand why the lawmakers don't impose a large deposit requirement for plastic water bottles. Some states have a small deposit, five cents, but I'm talking 25 cents or so. It wouldn't seem too hard to put the store where purchased on a bar code or some damn thing. It's ridiculous. On our last Disney cruise I saw a guy throw a beer can over the side from the deck below the one I was on. He got very ****ed when I yelled at him. Young asshole. |

Cabo Area is bad for plastic in the desert. |

There was a discussion on the home repair NG recently and someone pointed out the vast majority of this trash comes from 3d world **** holes. Feel good things we do here will not change that. Do you really think the deposit Disney paid for that can would keep the kid from throwing it overboard? I certainly agree we should be better about littering and I pick up hundreds of pieces of trash every year from the water but most of it really looks like it came off the side of the road by the crud on it. Remember almost every storm drain or drainage ditch ends up flowing to the sea. Back when I was picking up trash in the Chesapeake, I have found stuff marked Binghampton NY and Harrisburg Pa. BTW the worst litterers I see on the water are those bark eating, latte sipping kayakers. The biggest difference is they are not throwing Busch light cans, it is Fiji water bottles. |

Cabo Area is bad for plastic in the desert. We don't really recycle in the US either. We collect and sort a lot of stuff, at great public expense, then we truck it to the landfill with the rest of the trash. More enlightened places burn it in a waste to energy plant and get cheap electricity. We have a huge cogeneration plant near Wesley. They even burn up old fiberglass sailboats. |

Maybe we could start a trend. We actually have boaters here stopping to pick up floating garbage in the water on my river after they saw me doing it but based on the "clean up days" on other waterways around here it is rare. They always show big piles of crap they pick up on the other rivers around here and most days you would have a hard time filling a bathroom trash bag here. The only exceptions are after a hurricane but that gets cleaned up pretty fast too. This was just one trip for me after Irma, it took 3 before we really had a handle on it http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Irma/Irma%2...om%20river.jpg |

Everything isn't trash but about 99.9% is. Deuce has 2 fenders and he picked one up himself. That is one of his favorite toys. |
