Aug 22nd, 2018 : Mumbai Beach

It was dirty.
How dirty was it, Johnny?
5.7 million kg (12,566,349 lbs) of trash.

Volunteers spent 90 weeks cleaning 6283 short tons of trash off the beach.
It looked pretty good, you could walk barefoot, turtles could lay eggs.

And then… and then… two weeks later.

You know what they say, a rising tide lifts all the trash.

Well, a clean beach just makes the rest of the ~~cess pool~~ city look bad...

Why don't they set the plastic on fire. When it cools down they could scoop it up like a pancake.

Proof that they aren't hampered by onerous trash regulations.

It is like going into a Walmart and there is a tall box for used plastic shopping bags to be recycled. Sounds good right? Wrong because the recyclers want clear plastic. So they send these bags to a nation with lax pollution laws and burn it. Yay Walmart.
