| Our nice blue beaches, just how much trash can we give back to them? -
15th July 2009
As if it's not enough that most of the shoreline of the capital Beirut is only fit for a radioactive three eyed squid to live in, the other beaches up north a bit in Kesserwen and Jbeil have their fair share of human waste laid generously to bare on our god given sea shore..
So the deep soul searching question becomes, what possesses a good deal of the average lebanese population to turn our beautiful sea shore into their public toilet and/or their public trash can ?
Is it a deep feeling of internal exaltation and divine satisfaction in sharing with the world back one’s biggest personal contribution to it in the form of a trash bag ?
A lemon there, a plastic bottle there, a glass bottle there, all forms of useful none bio degradable rubber and of course X-Files looking garbage that only someone with the vivid imagination of x-file's Molder can possibly give a half brained explanation as to what it really is or was..
You step on them, u sit on them, u swim with them and when u finish sipping them by accident each time u swim u can sit back and relax and lay ur eyes down on their majestic sight as a multicolored heap of human trash. I'm talking about the trash here for the record not the humans although the description is interchangeable hehe
And so the second question remains, where are the baladiye and private resort owners from all this ? ya3ni i even saw a big sea shore resort only clean the expensive part of its beach and provide trash cans there, the other parts for peasant layman was encouraged to produce more trash and not a single trash bin was in sight let alone a cleaner.
And that's not the only problem, apart from greedy resorts run by weirdoes and useless baladiyet run by greedy idiots we got the perfect combination of fuel and sewage being pumped all around 24/7 to ensure that the next generation of lebanese fish in the sea will all look like godzilla while human swimmers here with time can all start to look like big human sea weed with fungus and god knows what else growing all over them.
And if our sea shore was a pile of ugly natural trash to start with than perhaps none of this mattered, but to look and see a beautiful breathtaking blue sea being pummeled none stop by all forms of garbage with divine lebanese indifference is altogether another matter.
Put simply, the next time a tsunami hits lebanon, the high killer waves will be the least of the worries of the surviving lebanese citizens on the shore cities, because their biggest concern would seriously be the pile of rubbish that they threw into the sea coming back to wash them over as if it’s payback..
So dear readers, please share ur thoughts and emotions and homicidal urges over this answerless topic back with us :) (btw the answer is simple, just dont throw garbage around ppl unless u r crazy!) |
