Thanks a lot Jim!

Yup, I don’t think you’ll find a stretch of road that doesn’t have it. If it’s very quiet, people are, I think, more likely to dump bigger stuff, while on busy roads there is just so much thrown out of windows. It’s hard to separate it from a global view of how humans consume- we are disconnected from the normal loops of ecosystems where almost nothing is waste and there is a balance. I hope we will see strong international agreements limiting the production of plastics and other inorganics, but I’m not too optimistic- economic growth is king! Anyways, thanks again for the kind comment!

I had the thought that I should pick the litter up, where to start where would it end ,… across the world ?

I love this site , a rich poetic documentation .
I’ve just dipped my toe in … Sláinte !
