I assume I shouldn't label this as OC.

Been to Morocco a couple of times. Zoom in on the photo
The amount of dumped rubbish is quite frankly fucking shameful. There's a sea of plastic bags and coke bottles everywhere to the point they're blowing all over the Sahara too
It could be such an amazing tourist spot, being so close to Europe, but the locals treat it like a giant rubbish dump. It's such a shame
Yes, absolutely. Tunisia too. Time for some new religous rules that's relevant today. It should be haram to disrespect nature.
It already is? It's not a religious problem, it's a third world country problem. People just have more important things to worry about than plastic littering but I agree it needs to be changed.
There should be prohibitions against plastic bags in general but there's no caliphate now, so it's not a monolith that sets the rules.
Edit: i would also like to mention that a lot of third world countries do not have the system to recycle or process plastic waste. Even if you hand them over to municipality, it gets thrown into open waste dumps and get burnt.
5 pieces of rubbish have been circled in a field. It would not surprise me to find 5 pieces of rubbish in a field of similar size in the US.
Yeah, they're as bad as the US
What's your point?
The US doesn't have a tourist problem due to it's trash, nor do people often say generalized statements like "American locals treat their country like a rubbish dump" after finding 5 pieces of trash in a field.
I've just... never really seen trash in a field in the countries I've lived in. Must be an "uncivilised country" thing I'm too civilised to know about
Glad you've got the Freedom©®™ to do that though
It‘s about money. And that‘s it. Rich countries can simply afford do clean up after their civilised citizens. And what do they also do? They export the rubbish to poor countries.
It's about upbringing. Being taught not to expect someone to clean up after you, and to respect where you live
Sorry your parents were selfish cunts
Jesus, talking about upbringing
That's rude to say.
Yes
I've been in Marocco last September near Merzouga, at the edge of the desert. Had the same experience: looks like littering is an accepted habit.
I wonder how much faster plastics break down on sand vs in the ocean... if it is faster. And does it drop below the size of a microplastic in sand.
