Speaking of Cape York, the eastern beaches there are littered with plastic bottles and lids ….. almost all of them are from other countries, read: not Australian brands.

Certainly more helpful to humanity than Elon's steam toy.

You can turn the cap on the bottle neck, so it doesn't poke up your nose..At least they'll help keep many mediterranen beaches substantially cleaner.
Non-removable lids for PET bottles. Can be a bit of an inconvenience when drinking.

Pesky bottles have the tendancy to float... buggers.
On a beach near Barcelona a few years ago, the sand was littered with seemingly millions of bottle caps. Apparently the wind had carried the empty bottles away, neither were disposed of properly, just chucked into the environment.
Since a 25 cent deposit was introduced for every one-way bottle and can sold in Germany, the trash situation has considerably improved. Of course the beverage industry passes a large part of the costs of all this on to the consumer, but it has made for a cleaner environment, from which we all benefit.
Ok, back to the jokes...
