We sure do receive more than we seek and we should give back just as much in respect of the paths we follow through the land Mother Nature has put before us.

I drown a few worms this past Monday Wulffy in a local park that has a 1 mile walking path through it bordering the shore line on one leg of it. Why folks discard their soda cans and cups with occasional food wrappers within site of a trash container is beside me.
As for who ever forgot to pick up the rod and reel left on the shore line, maybe that thought of picking up everything will stay in their minds now.

Cleaning up when I go out has become a little harder here. Plastic bags are outlawed. It was easy to take an empty and return with it full. Not so easy any more. People don’t care or realize the harm they cause with what is left behind.I drown a few worms this past Monday Wulffy in a local park that has a 1 mile walking path through it bordering the shore line on one leg of it.

What are you using for your household trash since plastic bags are banned?
Now that you mention it, grocery stores are not using plastic bags but yet our trash bags are. One would think if one bag is banned, all should be and not pick and choose.
I know it would cost the consumer more and I would be willing to pay more, but I would like to see plastic bottles banned as well. Bring back glass and make jobs for people is my thought.

So true Bob.
Breaks my heart to see all beautiful farm ground around here being developed.
If not for the Mennonites most of it will be gone.
Many cases when the elders pass the kids can't sell it fast enough 👍

Boggles your mind doesn't it? Where the wife is working, plastic bags for the items being sold. Go figure.

Good morning Butch. We have a farm behind us and I much rather put up with the dust from the road, the smell of fertilizer, and the occasional flower eating deer than some neighbor with our ideas of country living being different.

Well pb,
If we could get people to recycle (as it was intended) plastic would not be a problem. The lazy people are the problem. Returnable bottles were great, but people would fill them with drain oil, or cooking grease, or worse. Those would have to be cleaned, or discarded. We would also have to pay to truck the empty glass back to the bottler as the company would surely pass those costs on to us. Returnable bottles are also more expensive to manufacture.
I have never left anything but footprints when I left the woods. If I carried it in, I carried it out…and continue to do so.

OJ I understand completely. I think those that would not fill bottles up with waste products would be more than those that do, but you are right the cleaning process would increase the cost of recycling. I would rather pay more for a product than see our land being trashed by un degradable plastics.
The present problem with recycling plastic in some areas of the country they have run out of storage space thus they take away the dumpsters for recycling.
