The sludge cocktail people drop onto the streets and in parking lots always looks crummy, but when you talk about how it floats down into our oceans it's just plain gross. I think your trash photos help raise awareness about the junk drifting down streets and drain pipes are awesome. If we saw this trash on a pristine beach most people would be shocked. It's also another reminder that it's not just what we dump on the streets, but all the hidden chemicals and toxins in our everyday products! Cheers to organic farming!
