Disgraceful to see how many are just discarded on the street here, gloves too.

Also, when discarding, remember to snip the elastic strap, it can ensnare animals and birds. The same should be done with the plastic connectors that hold a four pack of beer together.

I'm sorry to say, but this is just one more thing that makes me wonder whether humans deserve to survive ........

Plundering the planet's resources, wasting them and then discarding them, all the while poisoning the water and the air, torturing and killing fellow creatures and to top it all ... calling themselves the Crown of Creation.


I am quite often ashamed of my country, especially over the last four years, but I am nearly always ashamed of my species.
