Trip to Rossel Point - What I found!

Whilst it is so lovely to pull up in the car ready to explore a natural place, a beautiful place, a wild place, it is equally unlovely to be witness to the detritus (rubbish) left by previous visitors. You can't be responsible for everyone else's rubbish I know, but I think there is a responsibility to do what we can where we are with what we have. I happened to have a plastic shopping bag in the car and I happened to have a little time on my hands, eyes that can see and a conscience that wouldn't allow me to leave the mess where it was. I photographed what I found and thought I'd share it here. If you live locally and know someone who uses the place as a drinking spot or...whatever...then please share with them because they might want to claim something they left behind. So here is what I found.

A paper bag, six pack carton, a pie wrapper, solo can, coffee cup with lid...

A beer can, a chips packet, another beer can, another pie wrapper, another coffee lid, a small white plastic bag with handles and a lemon squash can...

Some broken glass, a piece of plastic, a Jim Beam can, another coffee cup with lid, a large Coca Cola bottle with lid and yet another coffee cup...

A plastic stubbie wrapper, a glass bottle, a Jack Daniels whisky can, a cola can, a squash can, another beer can...

A Drum tobacco pack, a Four Seasons condom wrapper (well done on the safe sex but please take your rubbish with you and put it in a bin), a Red Bull can, another two beer cans...

Another paper bag, another two beer can, a bottle top, a juice bottle sealer, an instant noodles flavour pack...

A yoghurt peel off lid, a bottle label, a Mentos wrapper...

A cider can, a red plastic scraper, an empty pill bubble pack,  two bottle tops, a vodka can, a half bottle (jagged and broken...so dangerous!), a piece of silver duct tape, part of a cigarette packet, four cigarette butts, one ring pull, more plastic and a large empty plastic garbage bag partly buried in the dirt...

Okay, so that's all I picked up today in a short space of time (there was more but maybe someone else will join my crusade to clean up a bit), but seriously people, not good enough. I know the wind plays havoc with rubbish sometimes but I don't think all of this was accidental. Please think and take your rubbish home with you. None of it is heavy. Most of it is not very big. It's not hard to take it with you. Please make the effort. You don't really want to be living in a rubbish dump do you? If you can keep a bag in your car for rubbish it is easier to remember to use it...or even a little swing top bin...why not? If you go somewhere and see rubbish, then take a few minutes and pick it up and make the world a cleaner place. It really is worth the trouble and if we all do it we can make a huge difference.
