A note on the environment

As most of you probably know, I consider myself an environmentalist. I’m not going to rant and rave at you; I will just briefly explain why.

I am selfish, extremely selfish. I happen to really enjoy natural space. I like to walk through it; I like to hike through it; I like to take pictures of it. Yesterday, in the Cameron Highlands, I was enjoying just such a place. Specifically I was at Robinson Falls, a small series of waterfalls along the river. It looks like this:

Lovely isn’t it?

And this is the reason why I’m an environmentalist:

Plastic

More plastic

That is FUCKING disgusting. It ruins the natural beauty of the place. It ruins my enjoyment of the place. As I said, I’m selfish. The last thing I want to see when I’m dangling my feet in a river is plastic and god knows what else floating or hooked onto the water. It really isn’t that hard to properly dispose of trash. It really isn’t that hard to reuse a water bottle instead of throwing it away.

So please, lets try to keep our environment looking like this:
