We turned up for our first community litter pick this afternoon. Unfortunately, nobody else did—including the organisers! #NZ is apparently one of the best places for on-land access to Anthropocene sediments. For example, this graffiti in Ngarua Cave (📷1) or this vehicle tyre partially buried on Farewell Spit (📷2). Said layers provide fascinating insights into the behaviour of H. sapiens stupidicus, a species that habitually fouls its own nest & may be headed for self-inflicted extinction.
