Reminds me of my black light posters from back in the day ….
I agree, but it's got nothing to do with trash, well kinda,
I use to watch that every morning before school.View attachment 5191854
We'll have towers that go above the smog and trash continents. Right? Right!?
That one is a Santa Cruz local classic.Reminds me of my black light posters from back in the day ….
I feel your pain. I frequent the state forest and reserves in my area which are filled with mountain bike trails (thank you council). I forever see monster, red bull and V cans, cigarette packets, bongs, smashed beer bottles and fire remnants everywhere. A lot of the trails are being closed due to dickheads with zero respect leaving their shit everywhere.
Went for my daily walk. Came back home disgusted. What is wrong with people? I'm glad I didn't witness the fool that tossed this trash. There would have been problems.
Why? I just can't comprehend why anyone would do this. How are these people being raised? What is going through their minds? It makes me so mad. Fills me with rage. I guess I'll start taking a trash bag and gloves when I go for my walks.
Yes I'm ranting. I'm just extremely passionate about this issue.
I'm pretty sure a camera and grated belt-fed system with a bit of machine learning could have solved that. Nice project for a high school or university.There was a pilot project in Vancouver to pay 1 cent for every cigarette butt brought in to recycle, and a proposal to put a penny recycle deposit fee on every cigarette sold.
I lot of people participated but the biggest issue was how to count them accurately.
It's too time consuming to actually count them, and by volume is inaccurate as the size of the butts varies, and you can't go by weight as they can be saturated by the rain, so the idea was abandoned.
It's the tossed needles that bothers me the most...fucking junkies have no respect for the environment or themselves.
What are you smoking?I want to build a waterworld town sized floating island out of plastic bottles, like Richie Sowa's place down in Mexico, but on a grand scale. I would tow it out to the great pacific garbage patch in sections, then connect it all together there. It is mostly fishing equipment swirling around the patch, so lots of netting and bottles to work with. So much in fact, all you have to do is search the globs you see everywhere for fresh caught fish all day every day.
Start collecting more and more trash, and building onto the island as it drifts around. Imagine the hydroponic systems you could design out of all that plastic waste? I've heard there are lost shipping containers floating around there too, by the dozens, but most probably sink.
I really don't like the sea, but It will probably be a safer place to stay for awhile, the way thing are going.
