I have been living on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico for eight years and driving through the island I always tend to find the garbage hidden in nature, as well as finding toilets on the beach, diapers, tires and other nonsense. We must stop this madness. If the government does not want to pick up your trash or because some of the towns here started to charge for pickup and you don’t like it. What you should do is throw the garbage out on city hall or the capital building, not on this beautiful paradise that is your home.
They don’t realize the paradise that is Puerto Rico.. Nature has become the people’s garbage can, as they would dump their garbage wherever they can in nature.
We do not realize that this world is our home and home to other species. It is not a landfill, nonetheless, it is how we choose to treat mother Earth. We no longer respect the earth and that is because we no longer have respect for ourselves. As we have become inconsiderate, therefore Respect and consideration is something that we have lost.
They would cry that the government is not picking up their garbage. Just like the people would say there are not enough garbage bins on the beaches. It seems that the people depend so much on a government to come do everything for them, since they it seems that they cannot take responsibility for their actions.
But in the town I am residing in and I am pretty certain all of the towns, they have trucks from the municipality that come by when you call them. I also believe they come by every 2 weeks or so to pickup things like sofas, toilets, etc. So I am not sure what possess people to do this to their island, to their home. They sure seem proud of their island and profess their love for it. But that doesn’t mean anything when they continue to treat this paradise like a landfill. I made a video asking the people what they prefer, Landfill or paradise. Click here to see that.
If they don’t come to pick up your garbage, again, here Is my proposition, instead of throwing it out in nature, you take the garbage and you throw it out on the steps of the capitol building or city hall. Throw the garbage with the rest of the other garbage found in those buildings.
Take it out on the government, not at this beautiful island, our beautiful world. Which I am sure most people won’t dare to do that. But would happily leave their sofa, toilets, tires and the rest of their crap at the beach that will be visited by their children and grandchildren.
Ultimately, Garbage is the responsibility of us all. We must end our mass consumption. We produce too much garbage. As we buy things we do not need, just to keep adding to the endless piles of garbage that we continue to create. Then we have no idea what to do with it. Just like how we should stop our mass consumption of plastic as I wrote here. We have to change our way of seeing the world and the way we treat it.
I believe we should have fruit trees and flowers all over this beautiful world, Instead of having garbage all over nature. But one thing is for sure, we must start taking better care, not only of our world, but of ourselves and each other.
Lets live more consciously, this should not be our purpose in life as a humanity, to live in this self destructive way. We are the change. Let’s take action to create a better world, a more positive world. Our purpose should be more than just living to exist, when we should exist to live beautifully. respect your world, our mother nature.
