This is a Norwegian woman, who visited Crete and likes taking walks in nature. So one day she saw the road she was walking on full of rubbish, so she decided to collect them as she thought it is a pity to let such a beautiful sight wasted. A local man saw her doing it, helped her to bring the rubbish to the nearest bin and asked why she was doing this. He then made it viral in the Internet.
A similar thing happened with an american singer Willow Smith daughter of an actor Will Smith. She went with a yacht to Antipaxos. Antipaxos is the smaller of the Paxoi islands part of the Ionian Islands in Western Greece, between the bigger islands of Corfu and Lefkada.
The singer said she saw dead seagulls and plastic litter on the three beaches she sailed to. Not only
seagulls, but other wild animals too eat plastic and die painfully as they
cannot digest it. So as she posted in the Instagram she wanted to do her small deed as a human being, as humans are responsible for all the plastic, to protect wildlife from such a fate.
The place in Crete wasn't know, so nobody was bothered, the island however was named, so consequently one knew the responsible mayor.
The mayor of Paxoi phoned in a show and said that there are more 100 beaches in both islands and she chose to go to the most inaccessable at the north west of Antipaxos. Well, plastic was there, seagulls were dying, wildlife is dying, he has to forgive these species for going to remote places, they don't deserve to die painfully. However he chose to present it as if it was a conspiracy against him. The Adriatic Sea, he said, has many floating rubish islands and so the beaches of these islands, which are on the Ionian island, can be full of rubbish any moment. One the map one can see that the Ionian Sea is not part of the Adriatic. He said that this happens to the beaches facing the Adriatic. These litter-islands do have weird habits and preferences.
Then he said that it is impossible that the rubbish from three beaches could fill 22 bags. He says that every second or third day he circumnavigates the island personally and has never gathered more than 6 or 7 bags litter from all of them. Well maybe he had bad luck and a big litter-island just arrived from the Adriatic Sea. In the photo below one can estimate the number of bags. If one is willing to believe that they are full with litter collected from the beaches and not the boats litter.

After saying that the girl sailed to the remotest beaches at the
northwest of Antipaxos, he then said that he couldn't recognise the
beaches, although he has lived all his life in Paxos. He didn't say, he
couldn't recognise the beaches, althought he circumnavigates both islands
more than twice a week. So what does that mean, the beaches are not at
Paxoi at all?
Who could be after the mayor of Paxoi and why? Are the worlds secret societies after the area's unknown riches? Is the mayor the last obstacle to their plans?
