I am with you on this one , however the people just dont care.I was once a 4x4 owner and I placed a article in the newspaper to get all interested 4x4 drivers to go to swakop with allot of blackbags and clean the beaches. I would have got sponsors for fuel and I planned that we all camp at Jackalsputz ,what a good time to meet new people and enjoy a weekend for a good cause. You know what happened ? nobody phoned me ! not even one person accept for a guy who had a little truck that would drive the garbage to the dumpside for free. Now that is just to show you how much people care .....When I go to the beaches I always take a few bags with me and while I am driving I pick up other peoples garbage , at the end of the day I have a whole bakkie full and then I have to get it dumped at a legal place in Swakop. My friends think I am crazy when we go fishing , but hey , someone has to clean , I soon will be a father and I do want my child to play on clean beaches. If I catch someone like that , be sure of it he will get to know me .....ask my neighbour who duped his Sh#t in the busk behind my house.

Thanks for your reply to my letter, Donkey!!

It's a big problem and obviously we can't count on town counsel to keep our environment clean, so i have decided to save up some money from now until the end of 2010 and use the funds to maybe get the schools involved to help cleaning the beaches on weekends.

i thought of paying a small fee to the kids for each refuse bag they fill up and provide them with lunch. i think this will be a positive way of cleaning up the beaches and at the same time educate the kids to keep their country clean, we use to do this when i was still in school.
