I googled Versova beach and the top result showed the cleanup of this beach. It took years, and the UN gave an award to the volunteer that organized it.

"Led by spirited young lawyer and environmentalist Afroz Shah, volunteers collected a staggering 5.3 million kilograms of decomposing trash and plastic from the 2.5 kilometer stretch of beach over a period of 21 months."

This is Mumbai:

"From filthy to fabulous: Mumbai beach undergoes dramatic makeover"

We were in Mexico recently (Puerto Vallarta), and it's pretty bad - dirty diapers on the beach, garbage on street corners.

I left thinking that it would be paradise if it wasn't for the human beings.

Was going to say that I like the hand-written sign about alcohol. If there was alcohol, it would have probably been beer in a stubby brown bottle, maybe with a first-nations village on it, with white rabbits.
