On the hunt for Irish trash
You may need heard in regards to the ship that spilled trash in Penobscot Bay that washed up on the seashores of Sears Island this week (see story on web page A1). As a result of I reside close by, the paper despatched me out to see what I may {photograph} for the story. So me and my Samsung cellphone digicam went off to hitch the likes of huge TV cameras on a hunt for trash. (Mama could be so proud.) Sure, it was a large number for this pristine space and I used to be glad it was being picked up very promptly, however the thought struck me that that we in Maine need to import trash from Eire to help our recyclable furnace? We don’t produce sufficient trash on our personal? That was a information occasion in itself! Nicely, I don’t find out about you, however I’m going to give you extra chip baggage and some Guinness containers to make for that deficiency (solely kidding).
My Christmas want to you all is ”Might your Christmas containers and wrappings not find yourself on the seaside in Searsport” Be secure and have an gratifying vacation season!
