It runs in families. McDonald genes we called them.
Let's see, 40% of the population is obese. You don't think that to produce what is required to create and sustain all that doesn't create millions of tons of 'stuff' that's potentially fatal to others.
It's not my job! That is by far, the saddest thing I can remember reading. It sure the heck is, it's everyone's job. Do you have kids or grand kids? Better show them all the wildlife you can while you can. We're killing them with cruelty and pollution faster than the poor animals can multiply.
Then I guess it's my job. I've seen this first hand, it's repulsive.
This whale had more than 88 pounds of plastic in its stomach when it died.
Maybe Covid is a blessing in disguise. Maybe there are just too many of us and Mother Nature really is winning. |
Sorry to disagree with you but, it isn't my job to pick up items that may be contaminated with the virus.
I have, however, prior to this coronavirus pandemic, walked around our neighborhood in NJ with a large trash bag and picked up all sorts of litter and never gave it a second thought. I enjoyed it in fact, especially how nice the area looked when we were done. My husband and I used to do that together. We always wore gloves when we did our "clean up trash" walks. Having said that, I'm not going to do that now in this time of a pandemic.
