There’s a High Street near me. I’ve wanted that sign for 25+ years. Problem is, it doesn’t last till the next weekend once its replaced, and then its like a year till its replaced again. Everytime I see it and “make plans”, its gone the next time I pass it.

Used to call your mom “my hole” 
There’s an Easy Street not far from me and people stole the sign so often in the 90s and early 00s that they eventually painted it on a telephone pole for a few years. I think the signs might be back by now.

THIS IS JUST AWESOME
I left my legacy on the island of Utila… First trip, saw trash in the water before a dive, and not ONE OTHER sign of civilization, just palm trees, natural beaches, not even a house in sight. I recall saying “what can I do!!! I’m just one little guy, this is heartbreaking”
Returned 9 months later for a 10 day trip, got involved in the local volunteer beach cleanup for pumpkin hill beach and dedicated 2 days of vacation to cleanings others trash off a beach I would be leaving in a few days.
Returned 3 months after that, for a 3 month stay to get my Divemaster and OWSI certs, ended up pushing the cleanups SO much, the dive center MADE IT A REQUIREMENT for all divemasters in training to attend at least TWO! Even made its own column on the divemaster board. 5 years later, 7 more dive shops on the island have followed suit. My beach, Big Bight Beach, went from a garbage dump you couldnt see sand on, to a gorgeous beach. Still needs weekly cleanups (every sunday the shop owner sends me pics :D) but I smile EVERY time I see those pics because I know that was MY PROJECT! That’'s my baby and my influence and my legacy…
MAD MAD respect to anybody who volunteers for a beach cleanup 
Our first cleanup for the dive center I was at… See the guy holding up something? Thats a brick of weed we found on the cleanup!! couple of kilos for sure, soaked, but made for the most awesome bonfire ever

Garbage sadly finds its ways to the most pristine beaches in remote areas. Plastics water bottles and bags gotta be the worst.

Plastic trash has even been found at the deepest point in the ocean during the challenger deep dives
Don’t even start with microplastics. Despite Big Bight looking like a sandy beach finally, take a 5g bucket, full of water. Dump a shovel of sand in it, you’ll be shocked how much micropastics separate and float up 
We will never be rid of plastics…

don’t quote me on this, but i’m pretty sure the lobbyist that inspired “thank you for smoking” went on the lobby for bottled water.
I understand that they’re convenient, but it would be pretty damn easy to ban plastic bottles and force cans/paper cartons only. people are talkin about banning cars and fossil fuels…maybe we at least start with water bottles lmfao

Pepsi and coke are the worst in third world countries. They will GIVE them product, a display and everything to sell it, but do nothing to recycle. Utila has pushed for only glass on the island, no plastic bottles, bringing it right to corporate, and they ignore. With what the average islander makes, you think they turn down free product and displays?

Every time I order D.I.Y E- Juice there are some new provisions and taxes.
I was ordering a 100mg concentration for dirt cheap from the states,
then It was 60ml Nic concentration limit, Now it’s a 20ml limit on nic concentration.
20 was the percentage concentration I vape now I can not even D.I.Y it there is no room for the cut.
and they added more tax again. I need it to be what it was when I started
the reason I started. It used to be a small fraction of the cost of cigarettes.
I wish owners would start mislabeling the concentration stickers lol
