Found your bottle in Monster
Hi Kaisa and Christoffer,
After en long day working from home spending it behind my laptop I decided to go for a walk. We are very blessed that we live really close to the beach here in Monster, Netherlands. It’s a strange name for a beautiful place.
It was de second day of Spring, but felt like early May. I was really enjoying where I was. You must know that when I’m walking on ”our” beach I always collect trash of others who left it behind. I was raised with the mantra ”Leave nothing behind but footsteps”. When I approached the shoreline, my eye was caught to 2 cans of beer in the sand. Empty and abandoned. Slightly annoyed I picked them up and walked to the nearest garbage bin, 50 meters away.
Along that walk I noticed a glass bottle in the sand. My frustration got bigger. ”Why do people leave their thrash on such a natural place? And wat is the effort you have to make when the garbage bin is only 20 meters away?”
I picked the bottle up and noticed it was not empty, but contained paper.When I read the introduction, my frustration disappeared.
I took a picture, walked back with a smile and read you story when I returned home.
Thanks for the great ending of my workday!
