Sorry for the necessity to show you this!

Not every beach is a pleasant place for enjoyment and relaxation!

When I visited Cameroon I was at two very different beaches, Limbe and Kribi.
Kribi is what you might expect as a lovely, beautiful beach with black sand and palm trees. A loveley place to go swimming I'll show you some pictures next wednesday!).
Well, Limbe has also palm trees and black sand, but you cannot see him and you don't want to go swimming, because the beach is overloaded with litter, that is washed up by the atlantic ocean.
Even the trash collectors cannot manage to collect all the litter in Limbe.

Sadly!

But enjoy the pictures and think of it the next time you drink from plastic bottles. Who knows on which beach they might be washed up some day.

Stay Steemed!

Love, Unity & Abundance

OMG It's a real disaster. Why is the government doing nothing?

What do expect from the government? They are the most corrupt people in the world, especially in the so-called third world. They might even be responsible for this problem, by allowing industries to throw all the rubbish into the oceans!

Nothing to be sorry about I think that these kind of images need to be shared so that people think twice and not toss a little piece of litter sideways. Sometimes you don't think that this matters too much because it's just a little plastic cork. But when it ggets in the ocean it ends up on the beaches like this. I have been visiting Bali and on some Tides you would have plastic bottles floating as far as you can see. It really makes you sad looking at that kind of images but we must not forget what happens if we act unresponsible.

Thank you @bescouted! That's why I try to avoid plastic in general and what I suggest for everyone else, too!

All sorts of package have their own issues. And even plastic, if recycled correctly it would be environment friendly. I just do not get it how many stupid people are out there...

No, I don't or only half agree! Plastic can not be environment friendly! It is made of oil that has to be extracted from the deep of the ocean (in most cases) and during production of plastic, tiny little plastic particles are washed away into the oceans, got eaten by small fish, that are eaten by big fish, that are eaten by men, and we shit it into the environment again, if it isn't leaving our body at all!

Well i will not argue, as i do not possess that deep knowledge, just stuff has to be packaged somewhere and any package has negative impact on the environment..

Yeah, it's a disaster!

Omg Damn human being

It's in our minds. Thoughts create reality! So it's up to us to change things!

Holger, a very sad but necessary message. Its heart breaking to see all these plastics wash up. Taking your post with me.

But we are about to change it?! Aren't we?!
