Sobering indeed. My husband is from Algeria (North Africa, on the Mediterranean). We were there in 2006 and visited the beach. I was amazed and appalled at the trash that littered the beach. What was most astounding to me was that a good majority of the trash was shoes...cheap, plastic shoes. To this day I have a hard time throwing away a pair of shoes. I wish I knew of a way to recycyle the shoes that my kids completely wear out.
