Where is the pride Where is our Bahamian patriotism This morning I took a walk, looking for drift wood at a beach located in between Albany and Stuart Coves, on South Ocean BLVD, Nassau, Bahamas. I was absolutely disgusted and appalled by what I saw; the amount of pollution was overwhelming. Where else in the world do people have the privilege of enjoying an ocean as beautiful as this one, and this is how our people treat it? Mountains and mountains of trash lining the shoreline, much of which will all be washed out to sea in given time.

One day, this trash that lies on the beautiful shoreline will suffocate turtles, reefs, and ultimately kill our marine creatures. Where is the pride? Where is our Bahamian patriotism? Where is our appreciation for the worlds' most beautiful ocean? There is none. I am sickened by this.
