Let's keep our rivers clean

I went to the upper reach of a local river today, and I was disappointed with the amount of rubbish I saw. 

Well, it will be OK for monkeys to eat banana and throw way banana peels on the ground. That is what monkeys do. We are human and we are supposed to be smarter than monkeys, so we should do better than that.

I found some discarded fishing line and empty packets of bait along with other kinds of trash like bear bottles, cans of energy drinks, so I sadly guess that some fishermen were responsible for the littering.

May be those guys should visit other places in the world where rivers are dead because of rubbish and pollution. Only then they can perhaps appreciate that we have lovely rivers where we can swim, paddle, fish, and eat what we catch.

 普段あまり行かない川の上流の場所へ釣りに行ったのですが、ゴミの多さにあきれてしまいました。人があまり歩かない場所の様で、誰も見ていないのをいい事に、ゴミを投げ捨てていくようです。

残念な事に、捨てられていたゴミに中には、釣り糸やエサの入っていたプラスチックの袋などがあったので、どうやら釣り人の仕業の様です。

サルは、食べたバナナの皮をその辺に投げ捨てます。同じ事をする人間は、多分サル以下です。
