Montenegro’s Beaches- abandoned litter. I’m a nomadic visitor spending 2 months here. I clean the beaches every day. And every day I watch locals literally trash their own beaches. What is going on with this?

Forgetting something— okay, complacent, it happens, especially with kids, but 3 groups of people abandoned everything they came with. Matt, towels, umbrella. That’s insane to me. I’ve never seen this anywhere else. Biggest offenders are cigarette smokers and people with children. They let their kids litter everywhere, and don’t make sure they’re picking up after them. And smokers just throw butts anywhere. It’s just.. I’ve never seen this. Not in the U.S. Not in Brazil. Not it Turkey. Not in Italy. Not in Portugal. Not in France. I’m sure some places are worse but this is such a beautiful country. Why?

Dude, the people of this country are largely lobotomized idiots and I am saying that as someone born and raised here. A week ago I visited Žabljak and witnessed a woman in the car in front of me eating candy and throwing out the packaging as she ate into the forest. There needs to be massive punishments introduced for littering with strong enforcement, it’s the only way to deal with these ecologically unconscious zombies

A few weeks ago I watched a woman empty a bag of rubbish into the water in the bay of Kotor… then put the bag in the bin. Lost for words really.

There is a community that my friend started, which holds a monthly event where they accept almost everything that can be recycled. This community is made up entirely of immigrants who came to this country and help to preserve its beauty. The problem is that there are no programs that teach about litter.
