Too bad we can't have thoughtful practices here, then maybe, we could have nice stuff instead of worthless junk lying all over the place. Since we have signed on to the throw-away society contract, it will be a hard sell for many.

... when there was such a thing as "pristine" beaches.
Now, every beach in The WORLD is covered with PLASTIC GARBAGE unless it is cleaned nightly.
Beach Combing in unpopulated areas used to be fun.
Now it is just disgusting.
