“People that say one piece of trash won’t ever have an effect need to think again. This photo was taken several miles downstream from the nearest signs of civilization. As you can see, this stryofoam cup lies in the middle of what should be a pristine and beautiful bit of wilderness. Please don’t litter”

“So I was walking back home from Park Slope the other day and saw this stuff floating in the Gowanus canal as I walked over the Carroll street bridge. Every now and then you can see this stuff floating in the canal. I’m not sure what kind of pollution it is but it is definitely pollution. It makes me kind of ill knowing that it is in there and that I live a mere block and a half away but at the same time there is some beauty in it. The sun was out and the colors coming off this garbage was really amazing”
