REMINDER! Please pick up your rubbish when you’re in our wild places. This afternoon I had a job on Bribie Island and decided to take the opportunity to have a little stroll on the beach when I finished. What started as a peaceful walk ended up being a clean up mission. Every time I am out and about I’m on the look out for litter (it is one of my biggest ichs in people) I was just thinking to myself how the beach was clean for once then I noticed a piece of plastic then as I kept walking another and another and another all in the short 200m walk from the car and back. I found bait packets, beer bottles, zip lock bags, pvc, glass and even two plastic straws! If you want to catch fish and keep catching fish for years to come please put your bait bags in the bin. Plastic straws were banned here in Australia in 2021, 4 years ago! I’m glad that in 200+ years this won’t be somthing you’ll find lying around but until then they need to be disposed of correctly with all other rubbish. Leave the wild places your visiting cleaner than you found them and leave nothing but your footprints! 👣 🌊🌿 we need to protect these places so they can be enjoyed by everyone for generations to come.
The last video got cut off but the water was right behind the bin, there are generally bins every couple of metres in parks and at the beach it’s not hard to walk it to a bin 🚮
