Photo HuntToday’s theme is PLASTIC. And since I have just returned from a Clean Up The World event, I might as well show you the kind of rubbish collected from the beach clean up. It definitely isn’t a nice sight, but it clearly shows how much respect we have for Mother Nature.

Plastics

And how many times do we have to stress that marine animals get killed for ingesting plastic bags that look like jellyfish in the sea?

How many turtle, whale and dolphin strandings do we need to record until we take stern action to penalize those who pollute the sea?

  1. I see polystyrene and plastic bottles! Gosh! How could they throw this into the waters? But then again.. there are nothing that the government (or any other organisations) can do to penalize those who pollute the sea.

    They can do it quietly, without anyone noticing their actions… Unless they are really st*pid to write their (company) names onto the bottles (like what Homer Simpsons did) Wuakkkaaa!

    Excellent post! And that was just off the beach?

    Yes it’s a sad sight. Another sad sight is the aftermath of Sepang F1 race. Rubbish can be seen everywhere at the spectator areas. Malu man.
