>>2841931i've picked up trash in oregon before and it wasn't nearly as bad as north texas, any day i'd rather pick up the trash in it's full form than just the scraps. if i had to choose though i would rather pick up glass shards than styrofoam (because at the very least they're not going anywhere)...
quick story about how i got into doing this sorta thing. i'd go hiking in lake meredith national recreation area and find random trash, long abandoned, like aluminum rations from the 1960s/70s that were just full of dead bugs. so i realized that they had been perpetually killing anything that touched them from the heat, or also in glass bottles, trapped inside. so as i'm walking around, there's one of the most unique geological features in the area sticking out of the distance. i'm not sure what i'd call it, but there's nothing in the time i've explored the area that i've found quite like it. so...
