Many people love being on holiday, and many like to be on a beach.
How often have you been worried about how you dispose of your garbage at home or on holiday? Hmm!
If you throw your garbage the wrong way, it goes straight to nature and the ocean. I know it is not news to you. I know this is a boring conversation, and nobody will think about it on holiday.
