Anyone who's ever picked up trash on a beach before knows how many goddamed bottle caps there are. And bottles without a cap for that matter. Those two stacks could combine to form a single stack with half the items. Half of the stuff to pick up. And picking up bottles is much easier than picking up a cap. Wildlife are less likely to mistake it for something eatable as well.

Yes I agree the caps can be a little inconvenient, but that's well worth the practical end result in my book. There will always be assholes that pull of the cap. And bigger assholes still who throw their shit into nature instead of properly recycling or disposing it. But a large amount of people are trying to make our world a little bit better, or at least prevent it from going to shit as fast as it is.

These days people are so selfish and spoiled, even a tiny inconvenience is enough to make them behave like little children. It's sad really.
