wanna see where your trash ends up...... if you throw it in the ocean

I seen that on another surfing forum I am on . Glad to see that info is making its way around to the other sites.

There is alot of shocking info about these birds and how there number are droping

 

There's my lighter.

 

Way wrong...but it did make me laugh out loud.

 

sad but to be honest some of those look like someone sprinkled a little extra on there.

 

ya think on some of those they might of put some more on. but i ****ing hate polluters. All the people who leave **** on the beach should have to eat what they left, and suffer like the animals have to. One thing i always see is surfers throwing there broken leashes on the jettys and the beach, dont leave your leash, just take with you. but more bennys and ass holes leave there **** on the beach than surfers and leashes. Pollution sucks, but theres really nothing you can do to stop it.

 

Whoa...pics are pretty heavy!

 

If u think this is gnarly, do a search about the pacific trash vortex.

 

pretty gnarly. polluters make me angry.

 

Yeah, those pics get me fired up. We're killing the oceans with plastic. I know we should all be thankful for the wonders of modern chemistry, but floating plastic trash makes me nostalgic for the days of good old glass bottles.

 

the best is when people hang their dog crap bags on the fence, and then look at people like they just hung a picasso on the wall and we should be gracious for their gift, as the head back to PA.

 

god, the ****ers who come for the weekend just leave our towns in shambles. like HOW HARD IS IT?! i hate how some towns will take the abuse just to have the renters coming back each year.

also, even tho i dislike humans indirectly causing the deaths of animals with pollution, those birds are ****ing stupid. All bright as colors and textures don't alert their instincts NOT to eat them? dumb birds.

 

I was going to mention this.... **** is horrible

 

Thats great that you posted this but what really pisses me off is people throwing their butts out of the car window and into the streets.Whatever happened to ashtrays?What pisses you guys off?

 

imagine driving down coastal highway and having a group of people in a SUV, with PA plates, throw two large bags of Mcdonalds trash out their windows, in the middle of summer, riding down the road with cars all around, like it was ok and normal to do such a thing.

Guess I am lucky they were not carrying a gun, since I tried to confront them at the next light. I think they got scared when I told them I was calling the cops and the fine for throwing trash out of your car is 1,000 bucks.

They all should have been pulled out of their car and beat, ...typical loser tourons..makes me sick.

Where is all that damn stimulus money they are suppose to throw around? They could send a group of ships out to that vortex in the pacific, and pay some people a good wage to clean that mess up.

 

Most of the trash get in our water threw drains in our sewer system , Everytime it rains what ever in in the streets , Against our curbs get washed into a storm water drain and out to sea. One thing I will say is some towns are really trying to keep thrash off the beaches and in it proper place. Wildwood is a great example every morning in the summer they run the trash rakes on the beach and they have a good amount of trash and recycle cans on teh beach .
With these types of step and local beach clean ups I think we can make a difference. Last weekend there was a big beach clean up . I saw a very good amount of trash taken off the beach and for the off season thats good. Polution is a year round thing that we have to look after . Not just from April - Sept

 

It is fun to toss inedibles to begging seagulls though haha you can see the frustration in their eyes!

 

were those chicken wings in on of the birds? Not funnny but I always make it a point to try and pick up trach on the beach. Yesterday I found a laundry detergent bottle in the shore break when I was about to paddle out so I just launched it up toward the dune. No cans in oc right now....

 

These pictures are so fake... Unless you really think this bird died with 22 bottle caps floating around in its gut.
