Morning thought :dontknow:

[FONT=&quot]Of the 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic humans made since 1950, 6.3 billion tonnes have already become waste, according to a 2017 study published in Science Advances.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Only nine per cent of that waste has been recycled. The rest accumulates in oceans and landfills, where it can take up to 400 years to degrade.

[FONT=&quot]A supermarket in Amsterdam has become the first in the world to offer an entire aisle of groceries in plastic-free packaging.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The plastic-free aisle at Ekoplaza offers 700 grocery staples — including meat, produce, dairy and snacks — packaged in glass, metal, cardboard or compostable biomaterials.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Dutch chain plans to roll out plastic-free aisles to all 74 of its stores by year's end. It has vowed not to pass the additional costs of the packaging on to consumers.

Litter is just a disgusting thing, I wish people had the common sense to dispose of their trash properly. My property includes some woods by the side of the road, and it is an absolute mess. Clam shells, bags of oranges, but especially plastic. I am not just talking about recent stuff, but stuff from 30 years ago that is still piled up on the side of the road. Tons of glass too, including a half full beer bottle that someone threw out their window. There are also two water bottles filled with urine right on the side of the road near my front yard. The scary thing is, I live in the far corner of town, on a road that receives almost no traffic. I can walk for half an hour down it and see two cars. I have no idea where all of this horrible garbage keeps coming from. This spring I plan on finally cleaning up that area. I also have a stream running through my yard, and have noticed some odd stuff floating down it. Every thing from an empty plastic soda bottle that expired in 1998, to a little plastic box with a dead goldfish in it (gave me a laugh, that one lol!). I guess that when this stuff gets into water, it can't be good for the wildlife, and it is not very pleasing to see a green algae covered plastic bottle or plastic bag floating in the middle an otherwise nice looking body of water. Just my rant about the local litterers, I wish they would just stop making a mess out places I could otherwise metal detect and enjoy!

I wonder what a persons own property looks like if they just treat the world as their own dumping ground.
I was detecting in a field and the road that goes by is really quiet, there was only two vehicles that went by in the couple of hours of detecting.
When I left the field just down the road there was a whole bag of take out containers strewn all over the road.
Now there was a car and a truck, the car drove by at a even speed and the truck slowed and then sped up as I could hear the mufflers.
I described the vehicles to certain folks playing dumb to who they were, and they both looked off in the distance when I described the truck. Bingo!
The Grandson of the large property owner next door, a little undercurrent being playing out for decades between them.
