September 18, 2010

Depressing litter gathering day. In between the pine trees that are between the beach and the road a lot of litter. One wonders with all the garbage cans on the beach. Why? Some plastics have clearly been there for years. No heavy litter like cans and bottles, but wrappers and plastic bags, stuff the wind has blown away, coming to rest among the pine needles and the grasses.
Found by the beach a piece of plastic . Time to degrade 500 years?
