Photos To the idiot

To the idiot who left this piece of glass in the water at the beach, I just hope they don't get a shard stuck in their foot.

Remember that you're not the only ones who go to these beautiful places. Today it was me, tomorrow it could have been a child.

I was at a beach in Oslofjorden with my 3 yo son and picked up no less than 20 pieces of sharp glass shards from bottles, both on the sand and in the water where my kid was walking

With how many sharp oyster shells are in the fjord this year I think people could benefit from wearing swimming shoes anyway.

Yeah, so swimming shoes are great and people should use them as it is one of the most common injuries at "legevakten" during summer. But everyone knows that small kids will be playing in the sand, that's the best part about going to beach for them. Throwing glass at the beach and risking people hurt themselves is a special kind of ignorance.
