Someone confused this clump of sea oats with a garbage can. Too bad. The garbage can was only 20 paces away.

What does the act of littering say about the one who does it?
Littering is a personal choice. It’s not one of those social activities like smoking dope or getting drunk, where peer pressure plays a role. It’s just an act of pure selfishness. A lack of respect. A sign that somewhere, somehow, deep within that person’s brain, something just hasn’t developed properly.
We took a walk on St. Pete Beach this morning, near Upham, picking up plastic bottles and aluminum cans along the way and depositing them in one of MANY trash cans placed conveniently on the beach. Then we came upon the above pictured clump of sea oats. From this tiny clump we removed 7 aluminum beer cans and 5 glass beer bottles. Bud Light and Heineken if you must know.
The trash can was only a few feet away.
It saddens me that I share the beach with people who would do this.
