I love Kerala just as much as the next man does, but I've just come across something here in Varkala that’s absolutely disgusting. I’m standing right on the edge of the cliffs — look how beautiful this place is, but of course, it’s completely ruined by trash. Trash. Trash. Trash. Trash.”He further added, “Let me just walk along the edge of the cliff here — it’s a little bit sketchy, but I’m gonna do it to show you guys what I’ve witnessed. We have sweet wrappers, bottle caps, chocolate wrappings, plastic bottles, beer bottles, and plastic bags full of stuff dropping straight into the ocean. Yay, environmental disaster. I’m not gonna lie — it’s absolutely disgusting. Such a beautiful place completely ruined.”
