Aloha!
Just came back from Baja Mexico - now there is a trash disaster.
It looks like the local foliage is plastic bags - green/black/white/clear/translucent "possibly an invasive species".
Scattered clumps of used tires with some runners (carcasses) that "roundup won't touch".
With the setting (or rising) sun, glistening on the ocean of empty cans and bottles as far as the eye can see.
No centralized parks (dumps) to accumulate the fauna; each household has their own individual one just outside the rear/side door. Makes a lovely landscaped neighborhood.
Talk about a native culture and how they treat their environment!
I particularly enjoyed, the nightly burning of used toilet paper wafting through the air.
There is an auto parts store in every yard! Several makes an models to chose from - parts interchangeable!
Puna has problems but NOT to this level.
Paradise is not lost - just misplaced at times!
Mahalo!
