Monte Gordo, plastic out of place

Monte Gordo, plastic out of place
These days, we're constantly being made to feel guilty about our plastic consumption. But wouldn't the first step be to stop making the objects we're forced to use (packaging, etc.) and those we are made to buy almost compulsory, such as toys to be disposed after at most a day of use and other futile items?
When I was growing up, we used to play with anything on the beach: sand sculptures, shell assemblies, drift wood constructions, etc.
Now people need all kinds of useless things like that not to feel bored.
Let's do something about it!

A beautiful photo and great light. Yes, I fully agree: the world runs on rampant consumerism in a way it never did previously - not to mention the ridiculous amount of plastic packaging on food.

Here I have the privilege to buy most food directly from producers so I take my reusable bags to bring goods home… guess some supermarkets incentive that too, but still too much plastic… well it is an industry and big money interests…

Lovely coloured capture. I like your blue skies too. I was thinking about this the other day as to how much plastic I have to buy just to get food!

A good sentiment. I just returned from Kenya where they have banned plastic single use bags.

Xata club has replied to Esther club
Here they are charged about 10cts each, nevertheless should be banned…

I HESR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR !

FIRST IN ORDER TO MAKE ANY IMPACT ON ALREADY MADE PLASTICS AND OTHER STUFF WE NEED TO SERIOUSLY EDUCATE FOLK AND INSIST ON RECYCLING AND SET IN PLACE CENTRES IN EVERY TOWN RECYCLING PLACES AI
ONE THNG THAT WOULD ENCOURAGE TOWNS WOULD BE TO MAKE ANY GRANTS TO THEM CONTINGENT ON THEM PUTTING UP A PERCENTAGE OF THIERE EFFORTS AT RECYCLING !

Stop or limit seriously production would be the way, but money speaks louder than sustainability….

The ubiquitous use of plastic for toys is horrible. They are used and discarded, and left to clutter up the environment for many decades. I like you took great pleasure with simple things found on the shoreline.

Money speaks louder… along the beach small shops sell plastic toys for less than 5€, kids want them, parents buy them and an important % end lost in the sand…

You're absolutely right - we are being made to feel guilty, we are being called "plastic addicts", we are even being told to Mariekondo our plastic containers and replace them with other materials... but the main culprits are not us.
