    Maybe have yourself in your galley suitably sized containers that are
    fitted to suit the storage space so when ashore all you need is to
    fill them up and dispose of the majority of waste,keep it to
    minumum ,or practice at home before you go away see what you can get
    away with.
     Look at places like Everest and Antarctica the rubbish thats there
    from Beer cans and the such . Sort of similar to our seabeds ,you may
    think oh its only a few cans but then its a few more and so on,and if
    every one does it ? I am not a *greeny* just thinking about the
    future and the beauty of our oceans.I love and respect the sea.
