Workers are still burning any plastic they find on the beach in Gonio. They do it 1 meter from a trash bin. It’s absurd and environmentally evil. Not the mention that the workers would be better off smoking 10 packs a day then inhaling this. I put out the fires this time and I asked in Kartuli if I could help and put all of there trash in the bin…by walking 5 steps from the fire. I used to work this job in other countries and I would never even think to burn plastic even though I was getting paid less than minimum wage. I have spent most of my adult life helping nature recover and seeing careless stuff like this really really hurts me. Even just by helping I can feel the thickness in my lungs, why would these workers do this to themselves and lamazi Sakartvelo?

This shit makes me so angry.
Because they don’t care, law enforcement in nature protection is a joke here and is used only to obtain territory for the oligarchy.
Sadly these is very common in rural Georgia, and it’s one of the contributive factors in environment population as well as general welfare/health of the population. Tons of open trash piles/accumulation areas in rural Georgia, and often near the rivers or even ground water.
We are doomed, people are ignorant. But also it’s important to note that people are not the problem here , 500 million tons of plastic produced each year and they are the problem, and they guilt trap us that plastic damages the world. It’s like asking the governments to help with the fires when in reality they are the ones causing it.
Burning plastic in terms of damage doesn’t even remotely come close to the impact these massive companies and organisations are causing to the this planet.
Plastic production, fossil fuel extraction , military operstions, shipping and aviation, you get the picture.
