It takes seconds to clean up after yourself. Yet some would rather leave a scar on the #world that lasts centuries. If you can carry it in, you can carry it out. Leaving #rubbish behind isn’t just dirty — it’s destructive, shameful, & inexcusable. We must speak up. We must protect what remains. (5/6)
Beaches are not bins. Forests are not dumps. The world isn’t disposable. When people discard #rubbish in nature, they’re not only saying they don’t care — they’re declaring that their convenience is more important than life itself. It’s violence against the #earth. It shows complete disrespect for future generations, for animals, for beauty, for everything that makes life worth living. (4/6)
#Littering #poisons the land, the water, & ultimately us. #Microplastics from discarded packaging enter our oceans, are consumed by marine life, & travel up the food chain until they reach our #bodies. Every careless act of dumping #rubbish in the sand or #bush contributes to the slow poisoning of the planet. We breathe it, drink it, eat it. Our laziness returns to us in the form of disease, #pollution, & the collapse of the #natural systems that keep us alive. (3/6)
Birds, turtles, fish, & other animals mistake #rubbish for food or become entangled in it, suffering painful deaths. Their suffering is real, prolonged, & entirely preventable. It’s a betrayal of our shared home & of the creatures who have no voice to protest. (2/6)

Today I collected 1 bag of #rubbish instead of 3. I am still pessimistic that the situation will improve.
I keep reading 'Rats in front gardens, rats in back gardens' in the accent of Sir Lenny Henry's #dub poet character from the 80s (which was genuinely authentic, he is a friend of Linton Kwesi Johnson and also the late Benjamin Zephaniah, and is originally from the ildlands himself)
Little penguins trapped in rubbish and starving
"The penguin likely starved to death because it couldn’t break free."
"March has been a bad month for Victoria's little penguins, with large numbers discovered dead on beaches in and around Warrnambool and west of Phillip Island. Those deaths have been linked to rising sea temperatures and overfishing of the penguin's natural prey."

Not all my prints are rubbish.

First time I see a #rubbish #bin dedicated to #recycling coffee cups. Way to go #heathrowairport!

Always be making photos.
Even when something makes you angry.
Especially if something makes you angry.
