Denne strand er lavet af skrald
A sparkling beach in Northern California is made entirely of old dumped glass, smoothed into colorful pebbles by decades of waves.

Denne strand er lavet af skrald. Send det her til en, der stadig smider flasker i havet. På kysten i det nordlige Californien slår bølgerne ind på en strand, der glimter grønt, blåt og hvidt i solen. På afstand ligner det juveler.
Det er ikke juveler. I årtier brugte byen i nærheden præcis dette sted som losseplads og smed flasker, tallerkener og knust glas direkte i vandet. Havet klarede resten.
Bølge efter bølge, år efter år, sleb havet hver skarp kant, indtil det knuste glas blev til små, runde, farvede sten. I dag er det en fredet park, og det er ulovligt bare at samle ét stykke op.
That's the story.
