Dronelife - Our Planet's waste problem? Can we stop littering our environment? Reduce our impact?

📸 Camera: DJI Mavic Pro (+PolarPro ND series lenses)
🌐 Location: The UK (but the problem IS worldwide)

The issue of our polluted environment is purely down to human influences and can only be solved by us, unless of course we disappear and give the planet tens of thousands of years to remove any evidence of us...

I can't say I have an answer to pollution due to human waste. However this will likely be a mix of education, activism, getting-out-there-and-fucking-doing-something-about-it and government policy that influences proper waste management (this barely exists in much of Asia). I aim to use my drone to show the extent our needless waste dumping. So please see images #1 and #2 below...

I've seen a great number of people doing something on here (see @cleanplanet @mdaminulislam @ale6grande @thegreens!) and I commend them. Sometimes, in order for people to understand a real problem, they need to see it. Visualise it. For me, this is fly-tipped waste at the sides of the road, all over Britain, because people don't want to pay for waste to be responsibly disposed of. I hope that image #2 makes people realise just how bad fly-tipping is and what an absolute blight it is on the landscape. It will expand in it's ugliness just like the terrible, deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest.

Whilst many images of the world show the incredible beauty of Earth and scores cheer and upvotes these, many also fight to protect it, on the ground.

I aim to show this beauty of our planet, but also show the problems too, as why should we turn away from them? I hope that seeing such things will spur others to take positive action.

What do you think? Do you have any similar images that you have experienced first hand?
