For all who aren't already aware, it is illegal to export plastic bottles to any of the Bay Islands without first having a solution for their removal.  Coca-cola has not done this and nor have any of the other bottling companies.  Coca-cola is the chosen scapegoat because they are by far the most represented in trash piles and along the side of the road.  We at the Roatan Marine Park are currently challenging Coca-cola to abide by Honduran laws and work with us for a solution to the problem, whether that be collection and shipment back to the mainland or a recycling program here on the island.

I have as we all have seen the amount of trash the island generates and plastic is by no means easy to dispose of. Every time I take a plastic cup on the dive boat or at sundowners to walk with I think that it is bad.

It is bad because that is generating trash and generating a need for the plastic cup to be made in the first place. We think of these things as disposable, once its in the trash (if it makes it that far) we forget.

Did you know a big plastic derivative is actually crude oil ! Time to get reaquinted with everybodys mouth germs  Lips sealed and don't use the disposable cups.

On the bottle subject good for the marine park and for the island ultimately, going beyond the call of duty, but I know you are a dutiful man greg and you have MY support.

Lets remember the island is growing in population and the infrastructure isnt there, I feel we see this in the electric cuts and so on.

Save and reuse where you can...I'm off to find a tree to hug.
