Plastic beaches

I think glass banned on beaches is good. It's horrible to step on broken glass.

Yes, obviously it's horrible to step on glass, but my point was that in all my years of living, playing and walking on beaches, only once have I stepped on glass, meaning that for vacationers the possibility of doing so is much more remote. You're more likely to step on a sea urchin or a sharp shell. The point being that one must always watch where one steps.

While broken glass on the beach is a bummer, most folks are responsible. The types of glass containers most folks take to the beach are for foodstuffs or booze. It's simply not that difficult for the so-called Eco-Guardianes to patrol the beaches and warn or fine people for littering instead of standing at the beach entrances harassing pet owners and making people throw their food and drinks away.

Promoting the use of plastic at the beach or anywhere is counterproductive to a sustainable ecologically-friendly society. We have already produced too much plastic. Perhaps you've never seen our waterfront after the first rains of the year. It is disgusting, and many other places around the world are much worse. Plastic IS the problem.
