This morning D & I went for an early morning walk at the park in our backyard - called the Carrs. It has a lovely river that you can walk by; the sound of the water is very meditative. Unfortunately we've both been suprised how much litter is in the river and in the park itself. Okay, it's not a ton, but still enough that you notice. We both figured it was lazy kids not throwing their trash away.
Well, this morning as we were walking; a lady came out with her little dog and he was carrying some used plastic food container that someone had left. She was telling her dog to drop it and let it go; but hey, this was a new toy to him and he was having fun. After we passed her I looked back and just happened to see her pick up the plastic container and throw it into the river!!!! OMG - I was shocked. There was a refuse bin not five steps ahead of her. I wanted to go back and say something to her; but wasn't feeling up to a confontation. I have to say though it really pissed me off!
Maybe it's having lived in the great Pacific NW where seriously I just didn't see such carelessness. But I have noticed in the sidewalks of Wilmslow - this supposedly nice little richy town, that it's really dirty. (in fact I think I have written about it before) There's little pieces of trash everywhere - the sidewalks are not kept clean at all. I don't know what's up with the locals here; do they not care what there surroundings are like?
Stop littering England and use your trash bins!!!
