Pantai ini terbuat dari sampah. Kirim ini ke orang yang masih membuang botol ke laut. Di pesisir California Utara, ombak menghantam pantai yang berkilau hijau, biru, dan putih di bawah matahari. Dari jauh tampak seperti permata.
Itu bukan permata. Selama puluhan tahun, kota di dekatnya memakai tempat ini sebagai tempat pembuangan sampah, melempar botol, piring, dan pecahan kaca langsung ke air. Laut mengerjakan sisanya.
Ombak demi ombak, tahun demi tahun, laut menghaluskan setiap sisi tajam sampai pecahan kaca berubah menjadi batu kecil yang bulat dan berwarna-warni. Kini tempat itu taman yang dilindungi, dan memungut satu butir saja melanggar hukum.
That's the story.
