today I am here because he has come to

look for the owner of this simple

orphaned and ask him why because

abandoned

As you can see, they have given a great service

retains its color notes its slot

for comfort is a classic of

60

gentlemen someone from the public knows him

ladies someone knows you

imagine that we found our

story started about four months ago

I was walking on the beach of port lincoln

in the southeast of the united kingdom that is

where I live now I was contemplating the

nature in its pure silly state

the cliffs the waves of the sea

cormorants plastic bottles

fishing nets

the sole of the shoe and suddenly I saw it

there was a boxer hidden between

the seaweed looking at me prudently

I went up and gave him a kick number

sir inside we look and we

we smiled that I could have my life and

so they chat and chat with all

our things speak of our

times we did not go home together I

hoping someday

find your owner

I have a hobby that maybe

you seem curious

I love what I love the most

like the world is to clean beaches

I find thousands of floating pesos that

they come with the water currents

miami beyond the oceans through

ocean is a huge supermarket

you find the unimaginable and the section

of plastics is

calculate toothbrushes bottles of

water combs sticks for the ears

dentures

some of these objects reach me

beach from the other side of the Atlantic

they cross from the united states and from

glen

pushed by the Gulf Stream of

mexico traverse the entire ocean

Atlantic and they arrive at my beach and I

when I see them it ‘s amazing me when

I see them I always tell myself what the hell you

people because each and every one of

us in this room

we own a floating object

consciously or not because they start their

travel in familiar places with acts

everyday by laziness or by

ignorance or abandonment

we consume at a creepy speed

And we also do not worry about the

things once we do not need them

do not know where they are going to stop a

Once we throw them away we forget

and I wonder they disappear not

they simply change places they go to

landfills to sewers to

rivers to the oceans and they form those

huge floating islands of garbage that

we see on television and when

we see we tell ourselves all that bars the

people

someone has to do something right the

people are us and if someone has

to do something

I am someone that you are someone and

all together we are the people what

change a little differs is the

behavior with this behavior

also our knowledge of the

things

we are all within a spectrum that

it could be at one end the one that fouls

for example the one that throws the little beaches

hygienic toilet in the center

would be the one who avoids fouling the one who does not

dirty pulling the trusted upload

ears to the bin of the garbage and not to the

toilet

at the other extreme it would be the one who cleans

which can be an indirect way as

for example a woman who uses

tampons and an applicator or with

recyclable applicators like cardboard

well I am a fan of the shores

as he has already confessed and every beach that

cleaned up tells me a lot about that of the

daily habits of the inhabitants in

each beach found different things in

the beaches of our community

Valencian I find mainly three

things and they all travel through the water

through the toilet a washcloth

hygienic only in the city of

valencia we throw 150 tons a year

to the sewer 2 sticks

clean our ears

we have about 100 sticks per meter

square of sand are all these banks

sticks that the purifiers are

unable to catch because maybe

the filters do not work perfectly

or there is an excess of water like the months

of winter that I too much and not

they manage to recycle all that water and

then they go to the beach

I did not know this when I came to

live in valencia found all the

sticks on the beach of valencia

I know I made people suck

chups on the beach sa

I was convinced that the amount

of chupa chups

then there is a third thing that

I also find that they are applicators

plastic for tampons to have in

account that a woman can reach

use 10,000 tampons throughout

our fertile life

well it is an easy solution as

we already know where they come from

we have an easy solution when

let’s have the doubt váter hugo váter hay

there was already there is already well that way

easy we have managed to keep it from going

the water but you tell me yes

everything is fine but we

we have to clean up is what we use

to clean your ears

we need only a little bit of

paper and a finger for the noble parts

a soap and water sponge and for those

days we women can

replace those thugs that are waste

after all for something that is cheap and

reliable as the quotas could be

monthly but we still wonder

why would we do it because I

I would change my habits in that

benefited in that it benefits me

me for example I can think of a boat

soon we can fulfill a dream

because we all have dreams and everything

that money that we save in these

things and many other things that really

we do not need we can invest that

money in making a dream the dream of

this orphan is to find someday

its owner and we travel together

to try to get it

however, I think we have to

do things we could do for

keep something that makes us feel good

those things in days of our lives the

things that make us happy as per

example go to the beach because we the

people who live by the sea

we know how lucky we are we are going to

the beaches to have fun to relax

we have beautiful beaches

we go with family we go with friends

[Laughs]

especially we go with the children of

families and children are the kings of

the beach the children are the ones who

they spend it on the beach of the imagines

playing happily on a clean beach

they deserve it and if someone has

to do something

I am someone because someone and everyone

together we are people thanks to God
