I live in the country have been involved in the marine industry for 50 years have never seen people throw bottles in the sea but this morning on the way to Bauhaus on every round about there was so much plastic and general rubbish all over and sorry but I have to say I don’t believe these are tourist the locals are also contributing to this problem beer cans water bottles cigarette box’s all over the show , Sad Why ????
I do love a glass of cava - but this is absolutely obscene!! When we go to the beach we always take a bag for rubbish. Then as a little ‘thank you for having us’ we (and our children) collect up any rubbish we can see around us, that’s been left by others. I’ve noticed a lot of other mums, from all nationalities doing it. Of course we can’t collect the micro-plastics or deep sea cava bottles. But it really does make you feel good. A positive thought for the weekend. And well done divers. Good karma :)
Further thought. If there was a very high bottle charge levied on every Champagne Bottle. Perhaps entreprennerial Divers could recover them!!.
Taxation needs to be applied to every bottle. To cover the cost of recovering those bottles. Or a very high charge put on the return of the bottle. But would the filthy drunken rich pay this charge. Then return the bottle to collect the charge? I DOUBT IT !!!!!.
But we want the wealthy tourists don't we?
