Albuquerque is a gorgeous city. The extreme landscape features the lush forest-covered Sandia Mountains which turn the color of watermelon at sunset and give way to desert plateaus at its base. The city is situated between the Sandia Mountains and the Petroglyph Monument National Park, which contains volcanoes, hardened lava flows, and over 24,000 carved drawings by ancient civilizations. Albuquerque is clean, vibrant, hip, but plastics pollution dots and decorates the landscape from city to forest to desert. This splendid paradise is not immune to human waste and some of the world’s most recognizable brands are in some of the most remote locations.
