Turtle Creek Trash

Gallery: Man & FaunaPosted July 7, 2014247 views4 comments

This is from today @ 8:30 am on Turtle Creek, Dallas. There are many of us who try to make the public aware of this problem of Phosphates from detergents, plastic and Styrofoam along with man's thoughtless dumping into or waterways.
The Turtle Creek Association does its part with a monthly trash pick up along the creek. It is time to ban some plastic and styrafoam or the problem will never be solved.
The Green Heron uses our litter to hide and fish. Disgusting.

Interesting shot of the Green Heron Rick. Love the eye peeking out from under the plastic. Nice reflection on the public dumping issues here too. . . .

There is a slow but steady movement to ban plastic bags completely, a handful of cities already have. I like the images and how the Egret uses it for camo.

This is a much more striking image than the one I just commented on - I think it gets the point across perfectly.
