…thanks to Sue W. and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts https://weeklyprompts.com/2022/06/11/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-waste/
I don’t often take photos of waste but two years ago, at the beginning of COVID, my neighbour and I went out every day for a month and collected the waste that people left behind. We were appalled at the amount of trash we picked up every day. People started to notice and thanked us and many people picked up the cause. It seems that the amount of trash is somewhat less these days.
Much of the trash that we collected had washed up from the lake and we found some pretty interesting things along the shoreline, hidden under the rocks and landfill that lined the edges of our parks.







When will people begin to consider the damage their thoughtless, lazy actions cause to wildlife?
Such a beautiful beauty spot doesn’t deserve to be ‘trashed’ – Well done for all your hard work, you set a wonderful example to others.

Thanks Sue. We got lots of wonderful comments from most people we met and some of them took up the cause as well.

It was a real eye opener. It was the beginning of COVID and people couldn’t be bothered to get out of their cars and walk 10 feet to the nearest bin. Open the door and dump onto the street. Things seem to be better now.
