Ma3str0's Environment Cleanup Walk: Oct 27 2023

Heya Hiva シ

Ready or not, here I come..

-> from a second attempt, and noticing something new!

Adventure afoot!

What a marvelous day of sunshine, Cape Town was once again blessed with. This, coupled with the fact that there was very little in the way of wind.. made for a wonderful day out!

I used the opportunity to once again traverse the remote and isolated path spanning much of the local wetlands and surrounding bush. I figure the more I bravely attempt that particular stretch (with vigilance).. the more acquainted I should become with its inherent challenges. This I hope will be of overall benefit for similar adventures going forward!

Cleanup..

After..

As I made my way across the rugged terrain.. I found yet another lone shoe. If you've been following my walks for some time, you'll know that this no longer surprizes me. After dusting off the sand, I collected it for later disposal.

Next up was a few scattered items.. one of which being an empty bottle of some sort of supplement. Not sure of the intended purpose.. though that doesn't change the fact that this now belongs in the bin.

Cleanup..

After..

I really don't like these disposable plastic tubs. You often see them down here in a deli. I don't know why all the supermarkets don't rather use that brown paper instead. I know of at least one that still does.. but certainly not all!

Cleanup..

After..

Where's the logic to put something so beautiful (i.e. strawberries from nature).. into an ugly plastic container. Yes, that's correct.. I really don't like plastic!

Cleanup..

After..

A sock with some other bits & pieces - one of which had to be untied from the bush.

After..

I had to dig out this empty anti-perspirant from the loose sand, in which it had clearly been resting for some time.

Cleanup..

After..

Yes, it's a plastic bread bag. That being said.. the bread which it once contained is one of my favourites - honey and oats :)

From there on, I found some foil..

Then it was a glass jar, with lid nearby. Really stoked that it wasn't broken or I would have been picking up some nasty fragments.

Cleanup..

After..

A brown paper carrier bag from one of the local supermarkets. Happy that it was paper.. disappointed though that it was littering the environment.

After..

The final item for the day was the bottom half of a 2 litre milk bottle. I found it near a side path, which I noticed in the remote section (towards the right, but on the left). Although I didn't go up (the side path that is).. my knowledge of the overall area is starting to grow rather nicely.

Cleanup..

After..

The bag of collected rubbish was taken to a local municipal bin - ready for collection. That was another wonderful walk!

Till next time,
