So sad, yet so true. It's amazing how it's just as bad here in our rural road system as it is in the nearby "city". The difference I guess is that here it's no one's job but our own to pick it up. I live, and work, in redneck central, and it's really appalling. I don't mean redneck as in the typical depiction of one; I guess I kind of fit that stereotype as well. More so, my coworkers and neighbors who constantly deliberately trash the place, and then start a fight with you if you try to call them out. A lot of people simply don't know better; our environment tries to make us monsters.
The turtle story really got me. Unfortunately it's the world we live in; it would take an unfathomable amount of time to improve our environment. Baby steps at least help to a degree. Beautifully written, @ghostfish
Thanks man. Yeah, baby steps, and hopefully the slowing of environmental destruction. People who don't know any better and people who don't give a fuck. I hate being anyone's parent, but makes me want to bitch slap an adult every time I see them toss wrappers out their vehicle along side the road. Decades of plastic filling the oceans, future getting grimmer and grimmer for all species. I think one day, the human race will feel the pinch of their self orientated behavior. "City folk don't know no better dem damn redneckers, all dem dar da same filthy spread'n trash pollutin' mo'fuk'n piss me off sons a bitches." lol Thanks for the comment dude. Peace out.
