RE: Around a kilogram of litter picked up during a 1km walk round my local area !!

in #blog5 years ago

Hi Jim!
I am totally inspired by your family

I have recently join a "beach cleaning team" and the experience has been ... I don´t know how to describe... rewarding but also very sad...
After we managed to pick up 100kg of microplastics we were told no-one wanted to take care of it (Goverment and private cleaning companies with contracts with goverment) so we had to stop.

Picking up 100kg of micro-plastics from the beach you love is a seriours task only driven by many, many people getting toguether with their own tools and hands.

At the same time, I work in a coffee shop so you can imagine how much plastic I see being badly used and throwed away... it breaks my heart...

Thanks for taking the time to reply with such kind comments.

We collected 1kg of easily picked up street rubbish .You and your fellow lovers of planet/mother earth collected one hundred times that of microplastics !! A serious task indeed. It shows how broken (by design) the system is that you were unable to dispose of the microplastic. Disgusting !!

People need to start doing more for themselves and make the forms of government we have now redundant. Governments don't work for us and those that pull their strings do not care about us or the planet. This should be obvious to people from what they see, read or hear, even from the controlled mainstream media, but the fact that most people are blissfully ignorant of the way the world/system works and continue to consume and destroy their own futures, shows just how effective the brainwashing, social engineering and propaganda is and has been.

Your experience with government has been shared by millions around the world who try to help the planet and set an example for others. People who plant vegetables in their front gardens for example and are told to remove them by local councils, or people being threatened with arrest if they feed homeless people.

Most people are kind and want to help but we have been distracted and divided and made to fear and distrust one another. It's sickening really, how far down a dark path, humanity has been led, and how easily their consent for so many things has been manufactured. I live in hope that enough people will come to their senses before it is too late.

Sorry, I went off on a bit of a tangent then.

I'll check out the blog you linked in a moment,

Thanks again

Jim
