The trash can is only a couple of metres away but still someone didn’t bother to dispose of his/her trash properly. Why? Is it laziness or plain apathy? Some people still don’t care enough for the people and the environment around.

Seems like a fun game looking for cigarette butts and microplastics and other trash in the sand but when you look at the amount of trash gathered then it’s not fun anymore. This was taken during a beach clean up. The number of cigarette butts collected was enormous.

Goodbye Mayo!

A turtle called Mayo is released back to the sea after months of rehabilitation. Everyone who had the opportunity to attend was so happy. But this would not have been needed if it wasn’t for human egoism. Mayo had ingested a fishing hook and was injured as well. Once again, we have human egoism leaving a bad impact on the environment. It’s a pity these beautiful creatures must suffer because of this.

The first thing that caterpillars eat is their eggshell. On each side of its head, a caterpillar has 6 tiny eyelets, called stemmata, arranged in a semi-circle. Caterpillars get creative when it comes to self-defence. Life at the bottom of the food chain can be tough, so caterpillars employ all kinds of strategies to avoid becoming a bird snack.

Cigarettes are not only harming the active smoker but also the individuals nearby…furthermore irresponsible individuals who litter both the packets and the cigarette buts in the streets are contributing to a large pollution and littering problem. Such litter tends to end up carried with rain or wind and end up blocking the street gutters or actually end up polluting oceans too.

A snail in the rain!

Where there is rain, the snail will follow! The snail is usually regarded as pest as it ‘ruins’ our produce…what shall we refer to the humanity for exploiting the one Earth we have? Is it important to recognize the importance of all organisms in a natural food chain and if needed one shall opt for a biological pest control or the old method of removing by hand rather than introducing chemicals which will harm other organisms as well.
