  • Litres of grey-white paint and at least 15 rollers were dumped beside Østensjø environmental park, a strictly protected nature reserve in Oslo.
  • The park is known for its biodiversity and has recorded more than 230 bird species, which use its waters during spring and autumn migration.

Litres of grey-white paint have been dumped just metres from a strictly protected nature reserve in Oslo, where at least 15 paint rollers can be seen in the thick mass.

The waste was found at the edge of Østensjø environmental park, described as a natural gem with enormous biodiversity. The contrast between the lush green forest floor and the pale paint has left the area visibly scarred.

The scene confronted the “trash hunter” who visited some of Oslo’s worst-affected areas for littering. “I actually wonder what they are thinking,” he said. The article describes the dumping as evidence of “incredible selfishness.”

More than 230 bird species have reportedly been recorded in the park. Its waters serve as a resting and staging area for birds during their spring and autumn migrations.

I actually wonder what they are thinking.
