Yes, it’s that time of year again where the sun shines a little brighter, the plant life starts its blooming process, and the parking lots at the beaches start filling up as people are eager to enjoy the benefits of summer. While this is all fun and really gets the mind on the more enjoyable parts of life, let’s not be so hasty to forget the some of the responsibilities of this enjoyment. What am I referring to you may ask? It’s the abundance of extra rubbish that is being left on the beaches!
Now we all know that you are suppose to put rubbish in a bin. Correct? So if we all know this then why is it occuring? Do people just don’t care? Is it too much trouble to get up, find a bin, and put the rubbish in it? Is there the thought that someone else will pick it up? Or any other ill-thought excuses for such a simple task? Who knows, but it sure does seem to be a problem. In fact, just last week, more than 100kg of rubbish was found and collected from two of the most visited beaches in Wollongong. This simply isn’t acceptable!
So the next time you are at the beautiful beaches and enjoying your day, please take the time to clean up after yourselves so that others can experience an enjoyable days outing. And if you happen to see someone littering or even leaving rubbish behind, don’t hesitate to offer a friendly reminder. We can all do our part in keeping the beaches beautiful.
bin, Rubbish
