BIG THANK YOU to the members of the
Pure Project who cleaned this appalling mess at the entrance to the Hellfire.
Please remember if you bring it in then bring it out and leave NO trace! #litter
We drove for our run this morning to Kirk Yetholm. Obviously a party had been held and the eejits had lit a bonfire!
This is what we recovered, not surprisingly it was not far from the road and surprisingly we had a bin bag in the car. On the positive side, of the 40+ of the cans and bottles recovered, 10 of them were unopened. On the negative it is crap beer. On the other mildly positive we know someone who occasionally stops by who actually likes Tennants.
REMINDER: This is not a bin! Please take home your rubbish and leave NO trace. #litter

No photos from our walk up #YrWyddfa (#Snowdon) yesterday because I was too frustrated on the climb and seething by the time we reached the summit.
The lower part was mostly great, we walked from Rhyd Ddu on the Snowdon Ranger extension through the quarry before heading up the Snowdon Ranger path proper and didn't see another soul.
Just after the quarry the litter started; food packets, water bottles, cider cans, dog poo bags a lunchbox and a safety blanket. The further we went up the more litter we found and picked up.
By the time we got back down i had filled half of a 65 litre backpack with rubbish, it is so frustrating.
More than frustrating and bordering on rage inducing were the people setting off "party poppers" from the summit to see how far the rubbish would blow or the idiot who spat to see where it would blow! Yeah, the wind was blowing TOWARDS people.
I despair of people sometimes but at least I know there must be other people gathering rubbish or Snowdon and other mountains would be nothing but mounds of rubbish.
Rant over.
Good morning.

There are certain behaviors among Americans that annoy the rest of us. One such behavior that comes to mind is littering. A significant portion of our population will just toss garbage onto the side of the road. McDonald's bags along the roadside are indicative of this behavior, and I always think, 'Really? You can't wait until there's a trash can available?' Another glaring example is the person who empties their car's ashtray onto the ground in a parking lot. Bottles, cans, and wrappers—oh my! Speaking of wrappers, the last people I hired to do some work on my yard left candy wrappers here and there, which I had to pick up. The irony was that their job was to rake leaves and pick up tree debris.
"There aren't many things that are universally cool, and it's cool not to litter. I'd never do it." - Matthew McConaughey

Litter Tarot.
These cards were lying outside the entrance at my new job.
If you know, you know.
While doing some off-trail exploring in canyon country I came across this foil Happy Birthday balloon escapee. These balloons are awful when they decompose. They turn into millions of tiny foil flakes. I stuffed this one in my pocket, and now two weeks later, I'm still finding tiny foil flakes in my laundry. Please don't buy these balloons.
Last summer I made a collage of 64 discarded vape packets because I would literally see a new one on the ground each day. This summer I have seen but one or two. Has a law changed banning disposable vapes? I can't imagine the humans dropping them have changed #vape #nicotine #glycerine #lithium #trash #litter
A U.S. park ranger wrote about a dropped Cheetos bag in Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. It hit a nerve.
From @outside: "The discarded Cheetos bag attracted all sorts of flora and fauna, namely mold and bugs, and within a day of its discovery, the pile of Cheetos had become a thriving neighborhood for creepy crawlies. Poor park rangers had to spend 20 minutes cleaning up the mess."
Oh and I forgot top mention: we also cleaned up the #mountains a bit while #hiking. This time the bag came really handy as I got aware of quite some litter around a bench. Plus some minor plastics on the way.
But at least no one will have to see that litter in the future at this spot now.
I got the bag when #Lowa & #Gore started their cleanup campaign. I didn't think that I would clean up so often .. https://www.lowa.de/campaigns/corporate/gore-nature-clean-up
Remember there are no poo fairies on the hills. Please take home your dog poo bags and leave NO trace. #SundayThoughts #litter #shame
