Humanity at its best

Prompt photo curtsy of Rochelle Wisoff-fields

Yes we are a wasteful lot. Nature tries her hardest at recycling our homemade castoffs. Metal slowly rusts, but plastic never never returns to nature. So why dump a fridge, with all its plastic internals. Recycle it. Turn it into something useful. The plastic could be turned into building blocks, so creating homes, whilst the metal might become a missile. You think that I jest.
But nature never jests, she has warned us so many times. We leave our castoffs all around. Where they wait as traps for the unwary, even at the bottom of the ocean. …

Footnote:
At the present time I am slowly working though reams of paper covered with scribbling, how did I come to write so much.😉

    1. Thank you Rochelle, I guess that my thoughts on fly tipping have come across. Before the lock down I and my dog have on many days picked up cans and bottles that have on the main been thrown out of cars!

    1. Thank you Tannille, I am all for creative in reusing junk, I guess that my thoughts on fly tipping have come across. Before the lock down I and my dog have on to many days picked up cans and bottles that have on the main been thrown out of cars!

  1. I recently ordered some furniture. Some of it came with so much Styrofoam. I thought to myself, what a waste! I mean if you were to stack it and somehow weigh it down you could totally build a small shack if nothing else. For all the homeless people something like that could be a life saver in bad weather.

    1. Only some hopefully. … I guess that my thoughts on fly tipping have come across. Before the lock down I and my dog have on many days picked up cans and bottles that have on the main been thrown out of cars!

    1. Nature is a tremendous gift, I guess that my thoughts on fly tipping have come across. Before the lock down, I and my dog have on many days picked up cans and bottles that have on the main been thrown out of cars!

    1. I am told off for not getting rid of old clothes, books, furniture etc etc. And I also enjoy repurposing items. But I am far from being green. yet I am a great fan of nature. Most of us are going to have to learn to recycle and recycle.

  2. I hear you … about the Earth. About the scribbles, too. We write because we must, I think. For some of us it is like breathing. Perhaps not all breaths are memorable or need keeping, but they all of them happened for good reason at their time. Or we wouldn’t have made it to this time. … 😉

  3. We are a wasteful lot, and what for, to gain more junk? The inhabitants of this planet need to change. Living in a certain part of the world, that I won’t name, for a number of years, I watched appalled at significant amounts of toxic trash was dumped into the ocean. Without restraint. Oy, heavy sigh! Thanks for the thought-provoking piece, Michael.
