More on the way of the rubbish.

"Reusable" bottle just another part of the trash stream.

Coconut water joins the rubbish stream in Victoria Point.

I continue to pick up other people's discards on my rambles. A particularly rich view is along the heavily trafficked roads and vast spots parks of the middle-class of Victoria Point.  These are areas obsessed with physical self improvement with six gyms and a well equipped YMCA doing well. And the proponderence of empty sports drink bottles littering the streets show it. Self improvement does not mean public improvement.
But at least they are good obedient consumers: the latest US craze on sports drinks, Coconut Water, has hit the rubbish stream.
And, as usual, the product's benefits in aiding your efforts, are overstated. To quote WebMD http://www.m.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/truth-about-coconut-water
"Coconut water is fine for recreational athletes -- but so are plain water or sports drinks. In general, most adults don’t exercise strenuously enough to need sports drinks or coconut water because good, old-fashioned water works just fine."
The carnival grinds on.
