Litter in Paradise, Such a Shame!

I live on a beautiful island in the middle of the pacific ocean. Everyday I see it being littered, and trashed by not just visitors, but by the hands of some of the locals here too. It's sad really, but alot of the time I think people don't think about the effects it has on our environment.The trash effects our ocean, the fish, and allot of people here depend on the fish, and ocean for us to eat. While I hear the sound of petrol pressure washers cleaning up the streets, I just wonder how we can make of such streets in the first place. Then of course we have a large amount of land that sits majestically on the mountainsides, or seems to roll on for forever from one town to another.Many of these spots being burnt to a crisp, by litter. Smokers throwing there cigarette butts that are still lit out their windows.Our country side has seen many,many, fires due to human error. No one ever thinks about the cause of what they do, especially litterers. Here if you are caught littering it is a fifteen hundred dollar offense, and still we face it everyday. Just goes to show, that even when you live in paradise, there is people who do not take pride in it.It's a shame
