Leaves & Plastic

The fall flow of colorful leaves makes a stark contrast to the two plastic water bottles that ruin so many waterways across the globe. The stupid :frown:veruse of plastic bottles, bags and other products pose a long term threat to our environment.

Tells the story adequately. Honestly, I have seen much, much worse. The problem isn't the overuse; It's the overusers!

Well put Rick. As Phil said about the 'overusers' - how hard is it to pack out an EMPTY plastic bottle if you packed in a full one?

A common site throughout most of the world, especially in third world places where everyone drinks bottled water because the ground water is polluted, but why do people drink bottled water in the US?

Left side is lighter than the right might want to lighten the right to balance it out.
