Now That's Just Trashy!

I live in a beautiful area of the US.  I mean, it's so beautiful that people come here for vacation.  Let me be clear, that this is not just a problem here.  I think it stands out more though here.  I mean, sunrises and sunsets are picturesque.  The sounds of the river flowing is therapeutic.  But the trash... it's downright disgusting.

I have been out fishing and filled a grocery bag with the trash that was left out there.  Old bottles of Powerbait, packages of live bait discarded, drink bottles, etc... you name it, it's there.  Why on earth would anyone feel they have the right to litter?  I can't figure this out.  These places that are trashed are beautiful.  Lakes surrounded by mountains, small streams so clear you can see to the bottom...  even if they weren't beautiful, the world isn't our personal trash can!

Why would you want to leave litter here?


People are always complaining that they can't fish for trout in many areas because landowners have said, "Enough is enough!"  I don't blame the landowners.  My parents live along the river.  Yesterday, my sister and my kids walked along the road that is adjacent to the river and their property to pick up trash.  They picked up 4- five gallon buckets of trash.  They couldn't even get to the end of the property because the buckets were full.  In this trash, there were: beer bottles, fast food bags, water bottles, and candy wrappers to name a few.  I have even found a fishing license along the road before.  Since their property is marked no trespassing, I find that interesting.

Listen, I'm no tree hugger, but this is ridiculous.  Let's be a little more vigilant by doing the following things:

#1- Do not, by any means, leave fishing line on the shore of any body of water.  It's dangerous to animals who get entangled in it.  Put it in your tackle box or the pocket of whatever you are wearing.  Throw it out when you get home.
#2- If you brought it with you, take it back.  There should be no packaging left.  If it had product in it, you surely wouldn't leave it!
#3- If you see some litter, pick it up.  It will take you all of a couple minutes and it will not end up in the water later.  Clean water is what we all want, right?
#4- Teach your kids to do the same.  Leaders lead by example.  I know my kids hate to see litter when we are out enjoying nature, because they see the various forms of garbage that have been dumped on my parents property, which have included- toilets, refrigerators, numerous deer carcasses (yes, that's littering you didn't choose to leave the carcass on your property did you), electrical wiring, and tires of various sizes just to name a few.

Hey, if we just live like a Cub Scout, I think it will solve the problem!  My son learned these rules when he was a scout:

  1. Great article Staci! We live up against the National Forest and for some reason people think it's ok to toss beer cans and bottle out the windows while enjoying a scenic drive?! It used to really grate on me when I would go for a walk. Now I take a bag for garbage and pick it up. It makes ME feel better, and has turned my anger to pity towards those who are not even thinking beyond the moment.

    "If we live like a Cub Scout I think it will solve the problem." Good quote!

  2. I agree with this 100%!
    I'm not a "tree hugger" either but I hate when I want to go somewhere beautiful and people don't have the decency to pick up after themselves. It's ridiculous.
    It's like talking to a wall telling them to pick up their trash. I'd just as easily pick it up for them and leave it scattered on their lawn. See how they like it! Hah

  4. I completely agree. I recently heard the advice that you should always "leave the place better than you found it" - I think that is a great way to approach the outdoors, or anything in life really. Not only should we make sure that when we're in the great outdoors that we pick up after ourselves, but if we see something that someone has left behind, we should take care to pick it up too. In life we should always try to leave any situation better than we found it.

  5. Staci, good for you. I've always tried to live by and model the teachings of the First People who said, "Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children.
    Peace and good.

  8. When my boyfriend and I see people littering, we always make sure to tell them to pick it up. We're like the litter police.

    One day we were at Dairy Queen and we see these people sitting in their car eating and they decide to stick a cup outside on the ground when they opened their car door instead of walking a couple feet to the trash can to dispose of it. When we got our food, he walked up to their car door window and said I hope you're not going to leave that there. Not sure if they heard, but at least we made a conscious effort to do something about it. They hadn't left yet, so we didn't want to pick it up in case it had something in it that they were letting sit outside to stay cold. But either way, we tried.

  10. I've always been offended by littering. I'm no tree hugger either but it just seems logical to not litter. I mean, most people do not throw things away on their living room floor- well, most do not anyway. What really irks me is when people throw cigarette butts on the ground. People have this complex about thinking that if they can't see it, it ain't there. To me, that is d-u-m-b logic! DUMB!

  16. I'm not a "tree hugger" but I do appreciate nature and wildlife. I couldn't agree with you more. Some people just don't have any respect for anything, we live in a "throw away" society now. No one gets anything fixed anymore because it is special to them, they throw it out and buy new. And unfortunately the beautiful placed around the US are paying for the "throw away" mentality. I am so sorry that you have to live near this mess when you should be reveling in the beauty.

  18. I spend a lot of time enjoying the beautiful rivers and streams we have here in Missouri and I am also disgusted by the trash. We have an annual clean-up of the river that runs behind my house and we pull TONS of trash and garbage out (the Boy Scouts help!) including tires, refrigerators, you name it. It is really sad how disrespectful people can be.

  19. We have just moved to fishing and hunting paradise in Idaho from Wisconsin, and I have to say that was in a National Forest and found myself mad at litterbugs! I was especially mortified by poached deer carcass right off the trail! I wouldn't consider myself a tree hugger either, but will certainly start packing a garbage bag for all the trash I see when we go fishing and hunting (We always take our own stuff out, but will make more of an effort to make it look better than when we came.)

  25. I spent a week in Virginia on vacation last September. It is so beautiful there. I agree with your post. Littering drives me crazy! I'm always been vigilant about it and can't understand why people would be so disrespectful. I love to travel and I travel to see nature not see people's trash. I should start chronicling the trash I see when I travel. The only trash I laughed about was the abandoned condoms in a Scottish castle ruin I was checking out. Apparently I was touring the local teenagers makeout area.

  31. Well said. I think the worst that I've seen is people leaving dirty diapers in parking lots when there is a trash can not more than a few steps away.

    Our youngest is 7 now but when he was 4 and saw someone littering he used to quite loudly say "That person doesn't care about the Earth. He should go to jail." If he was close enough to the litter, he would pick it up to put in the trash. Now, he just picks it up and has this look of disgust on his face as if to say "That person doesn't care about the Earth. He should go to jail."

  32. We just drove to FL and back. I was amazed at the different policies states have about littering. Some states say a max $500 fine and others say points on your license plus a hefty fine. I hope they're enforcing those laws! I was always taught to leave a place better than you found it and that's what we teach our kids too.

  37. Littering is one of my pet peeves. He-He, I've been known to pull a few stunts on litterers. I watched a lady eat here fast food meal, sitting in her car in a parking lot at WalMart. She finished eating. Got out of her car. Dropped the bag of trash on the ground beside her car, and the just waltzed across the parking lot, and then into the store. I got out of my car. Pick up the bag, took out all the trash. Opened the burger wrapped, and placed it gooey side down...onto her windshield, and held it in place with the windshield wiper. He fry bay, turned inside out, went under the other wiper. I carefully "tied" the bag to her door handle (as to not set off the car alarm", and then stuck a sticky note onto the drivers side window. The note said "Oops I think that you dropped something:-)"

    Boowhahahahahaha

    I've also been known to watch people throw their cigarette butts on the ground, when exiting their vehicles. If I'm in one of my "moods", I'll don a pair of disposable gloves, whip out a small glass, that I keep in my purse, for just such an occasion...and then proceed to pick up every cigarette butt I can find withing a radius of say, 100 feet (as I'm sure you know - this is an easy feat). I will then deposit the butts all along the front wind shield of the perpetrators car. They get a sticky note that says "Butts belong in pants...not on the ground!)

  38. We also live in a beautiful picturesque part of the country and my kids also are in cub scouts. We've done many pick-up-trash-along-the-roads projects to go along with their scout projects and I'm also amazed at the trash people just chuck out of their windows. Probably the saddest part about where we are is that it's the people who live along our little country road who are chucking out their trash, not some visitor who doesn't care.

    Also I'm with you on the tree hugger vs. common sense caring for our resources. I also believe it's important to keep a clean nice environment and use resources responsibly. It's too bad the tree huggers have just about ruined that for us with their militant ultra stupid desires that nothing ever be used . . . ever.

If nothing else, it just looks nasty when there's trash laying all around and it's dangerous too--what if a kid stepped on broken glass from those bottles? It's irresponsible not to at least pick up after yourself.

  42. AMEN! This has been happening all over for decades, but I think it's getting worse! I chalk it up to three things: 1) our disposable society - there are more throw-away items than ever before - nobody feels the need to hang on to anything. If they had brought a reusable lunch tote and water bottle, you'd better believe they would've carried it out. 2) our entitlement society - people think they are above doing anything menial like picking up trash! Thank GOODNESS for kind people like you who will clean up after these folks! and 3) Our irresponsible society - seems like a growing trend for people to just walk away from messes they create as if they have no obligation. I guess # 2 and 3 are similar...
    Sigh - it's a big issue. I'm no tree hugger either, but I don't believe in destroying God's beautiful creation! I am grateful you wrote this post to remind people of the need to clean up! :) And for your willingness to pitch in! :)

  66. It is frustrating that people care so little about about the environment and other people's property. I'm sorry that you have to deal with this.

  67. It's too bad these people don't think about how their actions could potentially ruin the very reason they chose to visit your area. It only take a few minutes to be respectful of others and the environment.

  68. Littering is a problem that can so easily be fixed. It's a shame more people can't be responsible and pick up after themselves. It would benefit everyone. I have taught all of my kids that you do not litter. Even my two year old knows that trash goes into a trash bag when he's done with it. Thanks for sharing.

  69. Horrible... Absolutely horrible. It's a shame. My 2 1/2 year old has already learned and knows better. Wish more adults knew how to responsibly throw their trash into a proper bin...

    1. Hopefully, the next generation will know better, but I'm not sure.
