Why this is marked as abuse? It has been marked as abuse.

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.

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.
