I EAT YOUR TRASH!


	Behold Me: I am the TRASH CAT! ---- After the Tall Ships that had been moored in Baltimore Harbor for the 1812 Bicentennial had made their way slowly out to the open ocean, my two photo friends and I spent the day checking out the Inner Harbor and surrounding tourist areas. ----- As we walked through a VERY POSH waterfront neighborhood, we were astonished that the areas near the shoreline and docks were strewn with all manner of...well...GARBAGE. And the stench of raw sewage was nothing less than overwhelming. ---- Becky said, "There ought to be some machine that cleans up this mess!" ---- Two hours later, at the area called Fell's Point, we encountered this incredible piece of TECHNOLOGY. ----- Behold: The UMI "TRASHCAT!" ---- Michelle Alton
	A MILD case of Water Litter ---- This was at a very posh waterfront condo complex. The stench that almost keeled us over may have been from a recent massive fish kill in the harbor. Michelle Alton

A mild case of Trash. We subsequently encountered much WORSE examples!

Wow, I can't get over the amount of water litter, that's disgusting. People are so revolting at times. Great capture of the Trash Cat, never heard or seen one like that myself.

Nice one for the MT, Michelle! Better than picking it up by hand or worse yet just letting it stay there and sink to the bottom.

Its sad to see this regardless of who's doing it. I will never understand people doing this. If any good came out of it, you got a fantastic picture of the boat the goes around and picks it up. A marvelous MT and view of this ship. While I admire your photography, I wish this boat didn't have to be my friend.

Cool capture, Michelle!
Litter is such a problem, but some people seem oblivious to it.

What a great piece of technology but at the same time it confuses me as why we would even need it. Great story and photo Michelle.
