California’s “Glass Beach” is an unofficial tourist attraction with shores of shiny, glass stones. After years of being used as a dump site for items such as bottles, household appliances, and automobiles, the waves crashing against the shore pummeled the discarded items until they were reduced to smooth particles. It’s interesting that such an amazing site was caused by pollution.

pollution? depressing? are you serious? glass is just super heated sand… lightning can create it naturally if it strikes a beach. Not that these pieces are natural, but thats like telling someone they polluted if they threw a banana peel on the ground. get real.
