In lots of the cities you will see litter along the highways come spring but organizations clean it once the snow melts. It is rare to see litter anywhere rural. I go to Phoenix every winter to visit my parents and spend time out in the desert on side by side. It's a disaster in some areas. The problem is once it starts it gets out of control really fast. That stuff will last a long time.
And some lazy people assume someone else will pick it up for them. Just like the folks that are too freaking lazy to return their shopping carts to the cart coral. Then someone runs into it with their car.
I don't know why shopping centers don't so what Aldi's does. You don't see any carts in the parking lot there.
I was once on vacation and wanted to fish a small lake in Massachusetts that had huge bluegills. Only trouble was the public beach on it, that folks launched their car top boats on, was for local resident's only. So I came up with a plan. I figured if I picked up all the trash on the beach no one would say anything if I launched my little dingy.
Anyway, I filled up two trash bags full of garbage, with much of it right next to people laying on towels including used diapers. Then I pulled my little boat across the sand and fished.
What killed me was this lake was absolutely gorgeous and the locals that used the beach were trashing it. It took someone that wasn't technically allowed to launch there to clean it up.
Anymore I take trash bags to public launches and anglers aren't any better. You should see what some of these people leave on the ice!
O.k. I'm off my soap box now and done being negative. Someone else can take over.
