“Thanks for cleaning up! People look at you weird when you do, but oh well...”
A few do, but on that day is was kind of amazing to watch the people, who previously just walked by the trash like it was supposed to be there, actually ask me for a garbage bag to help pick it up.
I think the trash really bothers people but when they see it, it just doesn’t seem to dawn on them that THEY could pick it up and not leave it for the janitor.(so to speak)
It was an interesting trip.
Where’s Watkin’s Glen?
Most of the parks here in eastern NC are well maintained, not much trash. Sometimes people just need a nudge to do the right thing. The waterways here are a big issue. You should see the flotsam and jetsam after a hurricane. It’s as if the ocean is spitting it all back out. All the trash and marsh grass gets washed up on the road in huge drifts. They have to use bulldozers to get it up. You can’t burn it. :)
