An Environmentalist's Lament
On the Twelve Days of Christmas
the Ocean Sent to Me:
12 Candy Wrappers
Eleven Feet of Rope
Ten Bottle Caps
Nine Bits of Plastic
Eight Yards of Hose
Seven Tampon Applicators
Six Plastic Bottles
Five Children’s Toys
Four Cans of Beer
Three Assorted Sandals
Two Pints of Liquor
and a Light Bulb in a Fir Tree
Let's all make a New Year's Resolution to try a bit harder.

*laughing* Hayley and I both love it!
Yes, I will try harder, on so many accounts. Thank you for such a clever and wonderous reminder.
Happy New Year.
Oh, wow! That is awful! I can't believe there was a whole garden hose in there! Incredible.
That's one of the best holiday messages I've seen this year! It's a shame that we've made our oceans a dumping ground for all of our rubbish. Happy New Year!
I like it, but... thats not a light bulb, I think it is a crack pipe.
Sorry Anonymous but I got up close to it. It was a light bulb.
