Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Then that garbage goes into the landfill, gets sold overseas, falls off the boat and instantly back in its mouth.
Cleaning garbage hardly does anything, it only fixes what you can see then it goes into hiding...everyone needs to stop consuming. Today was garbage day in my neighbourhood..I had 1/2 a black bag and like 3 plastic bottles for 2 weeks. Neighbours threw out 7 bags and 3 recycling bins of plastic.
Stop consuming
Our local garbage goes to a local landfill that's properly maintained.
There's a lot of problems with consumption, and plastics especially need to be phased out, but some areas do handle waste responsibly.
The whale looks happy :)
Parks look happy too after people pickup trash and just relocate it..doesn't mean the problem is actually solved
You seem fun at parties huh
Their concern and frustration leaks out as anger at the wrong things/people.
I also only go through about a bag of trash a week ehile my neighbors go through about 5 or 6 This us because i am a single guy who lives alone while they are a family of 4 with a large dog.
Plot twist - OP's neighbor's house actually has 20 people living in it. Per person, they're producing less waste than he is.
We need both sustainable garbage management and reduced consumption. We can't stop consuming and producing garbage, like every life form, but we have to make it sustainable.
