Yesterday I decided to go for a walk in the beach last 3 days we had a really good weather with temperatures up to 10 degrees Celsius, but since yesterday the whole country is mobilising for a storm called Barbara. Meteorologists is calling for extreme weather conditions with a lot of snowing and temperatures below zero so I wanted to take a walk in the sun while I can ๐
The bad think was the condition the beach was. So many trash and some of them I couldnโt even believe to saw washed off in the shore.
A lot of plastic !!
I found a wooden saloon door ๐ช ๐๐
A mattress! My first thought was why wouldnโt someone lay down ๐
Does anyone want a pair of shoes ๐
Olives container or was there a dead body ?
And the best thing I kept it for last ๐ someone probably wanted to get rid off a car part and what is the best way to do it ? Put it in the see and letโs see where it washes off ๐
Why is this such a big problem ? Read the following just for the side effects for humans
Polluted beaches pose a serious health risk for people who come in contact with dirty water or sand. Ten percent of all water samples collected in 2013 from 3,500 coastal and Great Lakes beaches failed to meet the EPAโs most restrictive benchmark for swimmer safety. The EPA estimates that up to 3.5 million people get sick from being in contact with sewage while swimming; children are the most vulnerable because they tend to swallow more water. Bacteria, fertilizers, animal and human waste, and trash can cause a range of illnesses for beachgoers. The most common is an upset stomach, but swimmers can also suffer neurological disorders, respiratory ailments, pinkeye, earaches, meningitis, and hepatitis. People with compromised immune systems, small children, and seniors may even be at risk of death.
