I’m not sure there’s any remote safe spot where evidence of our human excesses haven’t reached.
Whether plastic crap or toxic waste, we’re really not very good at looking out for the environment.
I’m in danger of appearing a moany old man, but I watched some dude on the beach opening his burger wrapper and simply letting the packaging go over his shoulder.
At some risk, I actually asked him why- and he shrugged and pointed to all the other rubbish.
It’s seems that maybe in a similar way, mean, greedy, unsympathetic, selfish, and other, imho bad human behaviours are excused because there are others behaving in this way.
It’s much harder to be the first person to dump rubbish on a pristine beach, or be the first person to say , I’m not sacrificing anything for someone else.
