Environmental mismanagement

Ok. So who's the conservation mastermind at NT Parks who determined it is in the best interests of the environment to remove all the rubbish bins from Casuarina Coastal Reserve?

This blatant cost cutting exercise has been justified by the statement "people should take their rubbish away with them".

Agreed. People should. But people don't.

Perhaps we should disband the police force, on the justification that people SHOULD just do the right thing.

Some of us, who use the beach regularly, and like to keep it safe, and looking nice, have been voluntarily assisting NT Parks by collecting the rubbish that gathers along the beach itself, and depositing it in the bins previously provided, for NT Parks to collect.

As I ride a bike, I'm not at all keen to carry other peoples garbage 15km to put it all in my own garbage bin at home.

I encourage all that those who actually care about the environment to continue to collect the garbage along the beach, and continue to deposit it in neat piles where the bins used to be. Eventually blocking NT Parks access track to the beach.
