I was just thinking the above. Agreed. Furthermore, I can never recall being burnt on the beach by a cigarette and during various periods of my life, I spent entire summers on the beach, when there were many more smokers and laws/rules against smoking were almost non-existent
Of all the beaches I've visited all around the world, the most I've seen litter-wise were:
((In order of frequency))
--beer cans/bottles (Partially buried)
--pet poo
--burnt wood
--condoms (used)
--socks
--toys (Legos -OW!)
--condoms (unused)
--cigarette butts
--plastic utensils
This includes the beaches in San Diego; Freemantle, Australia; Phuket, Thailand; Mombasa, Kenya; Singapore; Manilla, Phillipines; Hawaii and various rivers and lakes in Colorado.
