The Trashing of Paradise

Someone provided this video the other day, and it's really sad that we
have trashed paradise...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7OHG7tHrNM
The shoreline where I launch my kayak is like that. It's a marginal
mangrove but the water is really polluted and the garbage is floating
all over. I think very few people care and the authorities and
affluent people look the other way. Maybe they never visit these areas
because they live in the beautiful part of town, the infamous Gated
Communities. Well, this filth --multiplied by the filth from the
motorboats-- is blown away across the bay and ends up on the
shorelines of beautiful parks and public attractions. One of these
attractions next to the water has a band playing and you feel good
with the music and the view, but the garbage sits right there. And you
must wonder about the sad state of this world. I hear there's a
garbage island --twice the size of Texas-- in the middle of the
Pacific Ocean. Why?
It must be that the health of the planet is a low priority for our
leaders. If dogs and cats can be trained to keep their crap under
control, so can we. Don't blame our monkey mind for it. Yes, we tend
to resist training but we do respond to reward and punishment. Others
are fully civilized and do not need to be told what to do. It's all
common sense. But that's only my humble opinion.
In places like Norway there's no litter found anywhere. Gated
Communities have no litter. So it's all possible. Why is it that our
communities have been trashed? When was the last time they issued a
ticket for the mundane act of littering? Why don't they place cameras
where littering is a problem?
No answer found in my monkey mind.

Imagine this sign, "Anyone found trashing the Garden of Eden will be
expelled." It sounds more reasonable that God expelled Adam & Eve over
reasons like these instead of the silly fruit. The world is making
sense now.

I think you are planning WWIII and then be able to elope. We can't
even manage this spacecraft called Earth and you want more adventures.
We are also trashing the planet with no thought of the future.
What did America gain by going to the Moon in the 60's and then
forgetting about it?

Per TibetanMonkey, the Beach Cruiser Philosopher:
down an additional nickel or whatever deposit - which is refunded
when the empty container is returned.
I used to vacation in a state (Maine) that still had
returnable/deposit containers and, being used to Pennsylvania/New
Jersey, I was blown away by the total absence of bottle and can
litter.
That's not to say the non-rocket-scientists among us don't toss
them here and there... but they get picked up. Way back in the
fifties - before New Jersey went over to the dark side - as kids
we used to spend hours under the boardwalk collecting returnables
that we cashed in for spending money.
In Hawaii in the sixties it seemed like almost a macho thing to
accumulate case-upon-case of empty beer bottles and have periodic
group pilgrimages to the distiller/distributor to cash them in
for more beer (much of which seemed tb consumed that very
day....).
But, for the most part, we seem to have the best government that
money can buy.... and the bottled beverage industry's got money.

It seems that she had, while shopping, met Mrs. Somebody who commented
"Oh, I guess you must have had a real party last night?" My mother,
not being party to my latest financial successes questioned why the
woman should think that? And, got told about my several trips to the
store redeeming beer bottles. My mother was scandalized by the

For the younger readers I will comment that in earlier days, in small
New England villages, drinking was considered a sin and to compound
that only the lower classes drank beer. (at least in public :-)
The moral is that even in a well thought out, environmental friendly,

They were gatherers, and God made them hunters. Thus the hunter-

They even killed the mammoths before they got a chance to board Noah's

yeah we old folk frequently jaw about the good old days following WW2 of clear water, endless (hay) fields, thousand bird flocks now rare...
and its pressure pressure pressure....no beach=no beach birds. Have you seen a flock of marbled Godwits lately ?
so what you will read in legislation produced by you know who-eg Devin Nunes-
is a text reading conservation filled with loopholes overall defining the local scene but sneakily allowing overuse by profiteering commercial interests where the document itself was specifically promtoed to not do this.
I participated with magnus zero results in The GREAT ESA ORCA PROTECTION SCHEMEPF 2011. Much heraldead, the document reads as writing by a 3rd grade imbecile promoting dynamiting fish.

I must confess that I never heard of such a fine thing, but it makes

is worth a million bucks. Let there be litter wardens so the world is
free of crap. But if the enlightened ones think it doesn't matter one

throw away with casual disregard for anything. I see beer cans left
everywhere, particularly the pretty spots that call for a beer. Sure,
have the beer, but get a fine too if you forget your trash.
But we must recycle like they do in Norway. It's a machine that gives
you the change and everything. Smart folks.

That may mean that my plan to ride an ass on the road should be put on
hold as well. This is inspired by Jesus, of course, to show the world
there are other humble ways to go around besides the bicycle.

Yep, and all in the name of a "progress" that translates into living a
sedentary life without meaning. Indians were happy roaming free on
their horses but now they also got the white man diseases: obesity,
diabetes and alcoholism. We can't be riding horses no more, but we
could be riding bicycles.

Indians by civilization. Same civilization that gave us the bike and
deny us space.
I'm seeing the glass half empty, but I want to question our "march
toward progress" as a positive step. The minute we became too
sedentary that's when we became stupid. Nowadays we only care about
keeping the machine going no matter what the cost is in human lives
and suffering.

Sorry, maybe it wasn't funny, but the term "tribe" includes
nationalities such as German, Jew, Cuban, etc?
I think we are one "world tribe." It sounds kind of catchy, right?

You do know that the Indian in that commercial was Iron Eyes Cody and
he was of Italian descent not native Amerindian? His real name was
Espera Oscar de Corti andhe wasborn in Kaplan, Louisiana and was the
second son of Antonio de Corti and his wife, Francesca Salpietra who
were immigrants from Sicily.
It is too bad that so many people foul the outdoors with litter. I
liked the old adage, "Take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but
footprints."

This should teach them a good lesson:

Then we invite the community to throw garbage at them. I don't think
they'll do it again.
Another less sadistic approach is to make them do community hours,
which will equally expose them to public scorn.

The Wisdom of the Jungle teaches differently. At times is similar to
Buddhism, at times it differs dramatically. You fight a problem until
you solve it, such the trashing problem. Sometimes you don't fight and
let it be, such as the drug policy. You must be adaptable to survive
in the jungle and do the smart thing.
