Video: You know you are in Puerto Rico when you find tampons and diapers at the beach

by Leave a Comment

I am in the beautiful paradisue that is Puerto Rico. But a paradise that is lost as I continually find diapers at many of the beaches and rivers.Sadly, I also find many tampons. I even found diapers on my farm which I obtained last year.

I would never understand this mentality. This is the type of world many of those who do this want for themselves and their children. This is their children’s inheritance.

Now I am sure many people would be upset at me as many just see me as an outsider talking bad about the island as I have lived here for the last 9 years. But this is my home and I choose to use my voice, while many people stay silent to this problem and choose to ignore it.

Don’t get mad at me, get mad at all this trash all over this beautiful island. This is paradise and we should not be accepting this as normal.

So watch the video and please share it to raise more awareness to this. Leave any comments down below or on my youtube channel and please subscribe.

The Destruction Of Poza De Las Mujeres In Puerto Rico Continues

by Leave a Comment

I am still shocked. But at this point I guess I shouldn’t be. About 4 years ago I wrote about the destruction of this beach in the hands of many of the people who leave their trash all over it. Which could be read here.

Well the destruction continues not only to this beach but many beaches and rivers around the island. Allow me to introduce to you behind the scenes of Puerto Rico. This is the entrance to a beautiful beach, poza de las mujeres.

This is how many of the people treat it. Oh and there is a large dumpster 10 feet to the right of this that sits empty. Then many people would say they need more garbage cans every where conveniently there for them. The people don’t need more garbage cans, they need more brain. The problem is that they are too lazy to walk to the trash can.

Many of the people on this island just want to drink ,eat and have a good time and to the hell with everything else. This is how is many places like this end up all over this beautiful lost paradise. Truly shameful.

Why would you want to come back to this. But I am sure many people expect someone to come clean up for them, which I have been doing for the last 6 years trying to maintain this beautiful island to be the paradise that it is. But I think it is hopeless,

Your ancestors would be ashamed

The ancestors would be spinning in their graves seeing how many of the people are treating this paradise. Your ancestors that sweated blood and tears to build this island.

I have lived here for the last 9 years now and it seems like I came here to pick up after many of the people who do this, who have no love for the island, yet I was not born here nor raised here but it sure seems like I love this island than most of the people who do this.

But I am sure many of you who treat the island like this would wave your flags proudly. Sorry to say but that pride doesn’t mean nothing when you do this. . Please tell me why many of you want to destroy this paradise? why do you want this paradise to be turned into a landfill. Please help me understand.

It’s your turn to pick up

I just finished taking garbage out of the beach itself. Which I made a video and will be coming soon on my youtube.

I was going to pick it up. But I am exhausted by this. I left garbage bags on top it’s your turn to pick up. I challenge you. Go and pick up one bagful of garbage each. Take my one bag challenge as I wrote here. Let’s reverse this trend and let’s take care of this paradise.

In closing

Many people would be angry at me for speaking out against this. How can you accept this as normal and not be outraged. I love this island and if you love this land, then you will defend it and take care of it and not allow your home to be destroyed. We just choose to stay silent and ignore the problems and just continue to drown in them. Wake up. this is paradise.

Video: The Stupidity Of Humanity: Finding Mask At The Beach

by Leave a Comment

The stupidity of humanity. The first week they reopen the beaches here in Puerto Rico and this is what I find. The newest addition of trash to be found everywhere alongside diapers, beer cans, cigarette butts and plastic everything.

We as humans are worried about this pandemic, but we should be worried about what we are doing to the planet. We are the real virus consuming everything in site and destroying the planet and the species that inhabit it.

We must start changing our ways and decide to start being the cure.

Here is a video I made paying homage to 1960’s horror trailers. Enjoy

Video: Many in Puerto Rico want the rivers and beaches open just to leave trash

by Leave a Comment

The beaches and rivers have been closed in Puerto Rico for about 2 months now due to the pandemic. I am sure many of the people here in this beautiful paradise were anticipating returning back to all these beautiful spots to enjoy what this paradise has to offer. I am also sure that many of those people were thinking to themselves, I can’t wait to return to the beach or river just to leave my trash.

You would think that many would learn to appreciate what they have when it is gone, but NOPE!. They would continue on with their bad habits and continue this cycle of trashing all this beauty. Sad to say but many people on this island don’t deserve this paradise. That includes many humans around the world. We don’t deserve this paradise of a world we live in.

At the time of this writing, the beaches and rivers have reopened. In the following video which was recorded last week, I found trash when very little of the people went there. I would pick up garbage one day just to find more the next. With the rivers and beaches now open again. The floodgate of trash will return tenfold. I think the beaches and rivers should remain closed since many can’t truly appreciate, cherish and love what they have.

I am sure people will get mad at the title. But won’t get mad about all the trash found on this paradise. anywho enjoy the video…

Ukulele Session: Singing About Trash In Puerto Rico

by Leave a Comment

Here I am singing a song about the trash in Puerto Rico, but can also be applied to the rest of the world. I incorporated the many signs I walked around with for the past 5 years throughout the beaches and rivers in Puerto Rico as I went on a mission to raise awareness. I became the guardian of the beaches and rivers. Click here to read more about that.

Proposal: Punishment For Littering Our Beautiful World

by 1 Comment

Hello my beautiful wild souls, I have been living in Puerto Rico for 8 years and have spent the last 5 years on a mission spreading awareness about all this inundation of trash all over this beautiful island. I believe there needs to be stricter laws and punishment for littering. In this post I will write on what the government of Puerto Rico and everywhere else for that matter should do.

So many beautiful rivers and beaches in Puerto Rico and most of the well known ones get filled with trash on a daily basis.

If you drive down these beautiful roads you would also find trash everywhere. Beer cans everywhere as people here drink and drive without impunity.

So I think there needs to be a stricter law. If anyone is caught littering they should be hit with a large fine, even if it is just one plastic cup. A fine of 1,000 would suffice for first offense and going up after that.

Also anyone caught littering should also do 8 hours of community service of cleaning up the garbage on the roads, beaches and rivers. They would also plant fruit trees and flowers or they could refuse and choose 1 week of prison for their first offense.

Second offense. If the first time they don’t learn anything, for their second offense there punishment for litter would be a bigger fine and serve 3 days of that same community service. This time wearing a giant garbage bag to demonstrate the garbage that they are. Ok, Ok I got a bit radical there. Can you blame me?

There should also education on the environment from an early age. Cultivate a different mindset than the current one we have where the environment has just become an afterthought.

Furthermore I also believe that corporations should be held liable for the pollution they put out. But since they are all in bed with the government that would never happen. Governments and the political parasites are also trash and could only care about the money they pocket at the expense of the environment.

That is my proposal. Time to crack down on littering and send the people and the corporations a message of not accepting this any longer.

Over to you, Do you think there should be stricter laws concerning littering? What do you think of my proposal? What are some of your ideas on what should be done about littering. Please leave comments down below

Video: Trash That was Left Behind At A Beach In Puerto Rico Before being Shot At My Head

by Leave a Comment

Here is a video that was recorded after I recorded a family leaving a beach I took care of with all that trash.

For those that don’t know, I have been living in puerto Rico for 7 years and have been going to different beaches and rivers with signs to raise awareness to the trash for the last 5 years as I have decided to be the guardian of the beaches and rivers, which you could read about here, as I think we should all be the guardian of this beautiful world, especially for the paradise that is Puerto rico

ambientalista

A family of close to 20 people left their garbage at this beautiful beach that I take care of. that is close to 40 hands that could have taken the garbage out.

But this is the mentality of most people. Get drunk, have a good time and not contribute to anything in this world.

I will release the other videos soon after, including the one where I encounter the man who beat me with a gun and shot point blank at my face, which missed and grazed the side of my cheekbone.

I will also be writing about that. So please subscribe to my newsletter down below to be updated with the latest or visit my facebook page here. Please share thanks

Video: In Puerto Rico Most Of The People Choose To Ignore The Garbage Around Them

by 2 Comments

Video down Below

Here we have Poza las mujeres in Manati, Puerto Rico. I wrote a blog here 2 years ago about the destruction of this beautiful beach as week in and week out people leave there trash behind only to end up being blown by the wind into the ocean. That for the people who leave their trash behind is a welcomed solution as they are just too lazy to carry out their own garbage when it is light, yet they have no problem bringing it when it is heavy.

the wind was blowing the trash towards the ocean and no one cared

I have lived in Puerto Rico for the last 8 years and I have been on a mission for over the last 5 years walking all over this island to raise awareness to the litter with my environmental signs and this is one of the beaches I would visit mostly everyday.

“Pick up regardless of others stupidity, the change starts with us”

So as I arrived to the beach to do my protest of raising awareness and I see trash scattered about next to group of people and even stood on front of them with the sign depicted above.

That garbage was coming from a bag someone left behind on the rocks and it was ripped open by the many stray dogs that are around this beach.

So as this is a very windy beach, what occurs is the wind blowing the garbage out into the ocean. So I found Styrofoam plates, aluminum foil, plastic scattered about and people sitting right next to it and not ONE PERSON lifted a finger. But they are sure quick to lift their finger to open a can of beer or other alcoholic beverage.

It’s because of this that this beautiful island is like this, because it seems like the majority of the people does not want to do anything just go partying and drinking and thus solve their problems through the lens of an alcoholic beverage that they don’t see this beauty that is this island that is in front of them as they have taken it all for granted. I will be writing a blog on alcoholism soon as I think that is a major problem here and everywhere else for that matter.

Many would be quick to say “that is not their garbage” But I guess they prefer to sit next to that garbage and have the wind to blow it all over their bodies as I have seen throughout this island. I even saw people sitting by a toilet that someone left at the beach which could be read about here.

Many do not think about the other species that inhabit our home that live in the ocean that have to suffer from our consequence and our neglect. They would go on clueless about that just like they have been clueless of this beautiful paradise that they live in. Click Here to see a protest I did at the beach with a bag over my head to showcase what happens when they leave their garbage.

I made a video collecting the trash in front of them and speaking English so they know that the one who is cleaning is not even native from here as many people I see from other countries who come here picking up garbage.

I see many tourists cleaning up because they see the paradise that this island truly is. I wrote a blog entitled foreigners care more about this island than the people born here which can be read here.

I know that there are many here that are making the change, but on this island and the rest of the world there are too many plagues and too little of a cure when we need more cures and fewer plagues.

  • Sign on the ground reads today you leave your garbage tomorrow your kids will play in it

Please do not be like these people and do something as I made this challenge asking people to pick up just one bagful of garbage. Do not settle for mediocrity, this island is a paradise but the people choose to have confined it into hell

Let us be the change this world needs. Let us all be the guardian of this beautiful home of ours that we forgot and have neglected for so long.

The change starts with us and with our actions.

Over to you. Do you think they should have picked it up or do you think it is okay to ignore this problem? What would you have done? Please leave any comments down below. Please share
