Are we paying today for the garbage we didn’t pick up in the world yesterday?

Are we currently grappling with the consequences of neglecting the environmental issues we failed to address in the past? How is our present situation a reflection of the garbage we didn’t manage yesterday, and what steps can we take to rectify these accumulated problems?

We have not yet begun to pay for all the crap we dump in the oceans,  but that bill is fast arriving.   Due to tides and currents  , some places remain clean……but it all gets washed up somewhere.   Some places in the world are just a horror, with all the crap that ends up  on their beaches. 

Yes in many ways we are paying that price. It’s almost enraging when you find out that your own town /city is still putting stuff, including medical waste, into a landfill in the flood plain of a river or is taking their recycling to a land fill of a bigger city.
