Hamburger

Melbourne, Australia

Walked today past this rubbish bin
Did you know that:
It takes 800 square miles of forest just to keep the fast food chains supplied with paper for one year.
Tons of this ends up littering the urban and countryside environment.

This is an excellent entry and so well observed and it is a shame that this happens , but it´s here too! The same "culture"! BV.

These are everywhere. Not only is the food artery clogging the garbage it creates is destroying our planet. Great photo and message.

The thing is a forest can be replanted...try growing something made of plastic and it is forever known as landfill :)
