I Went For A Plastic Walk

Actually, I went to my community center and back. It was a meeting. The total distance was about 1/3rd of a mile. Guess what I found while walking in a straight line, there and back?

1 1/2 foot square piece of bubble packing wrap. *
1 plastic bag wrapper of 1.5oz Cheezits. *
2 recyclable, empty aluminum cans of Red Bull drink.
1 recyclable, empty plastic bottle of Tropicana Orangeade.
1 recyclable, empty plastic bottle of Canada Dry Green Tea.
2 recyclable, empty aluminum cans of Mickey's Fine Malt Liquor (12 oz).
1 recyclable, empty aluminum can of Coke.
1 recyclable, empty aluminum can of Cat food.
1 plastic straw. *
1 Smoothie King drink cap. *
1 plastic spoon. *
2 feet of plastic coated box tape. *
1 plastic piece of a Batman collectible cards wrapper. *
2 plastic water/other bottle caps. *
1 nasty 20oz. Styrofoam cup with something still in it. *
4 other unidentifiable plastic wrappers. *
A 1 foot square piece of plastic Styrofoam (smelled funny too). *
A plastic bag that I used to collect all of this in (every time I go out I find one or more).

Everything above with an * next to it could easily be replaced with a non-plastic wax paper alternative. Everything else can be recycled!

Please talk to your friends and kids about the plastic trash situation and save this from washing into the drains, then the Oceans. If the Oceans die, we are dead. Time is short people.

Oh, there were 3 abandoned shopping carts from the local grocery, a 1/2 mile away. Stop stealing these please.
