Water Pollution

My son showed me a picture on mobile
It was beach scene after high tide 
There were plastic bottles and debris all around
Sea had thrown out debris after high tide.

He said " Look at this!
Is this how educated people behave?
Why can't people carry water from home?
Why can't they put empty bottle in dustbin?
Are they senseless?
Throwing empty bottles and debris in water without any thought of water pollution and marine animals!
Why are people so selfish?
Why they act thoughtlessly?"

I had no answer!
I merely said "I agree!"
