Rock Springs Man Cleans Desert Trash On His Days Off

Leave no trace but maybe your footprints. That's what you should be doing when visiting wilderness areas. But people are SLOBS. Inconsiderate, lowlife slobs.

In the video below, you'll see a Rocksprings man, out in the desert during his days off, picking up trash that inconsiderate, lowlife slobs have left behind. There is a lot of it.

Beer cans, water bottles, UNDERWEAR???? What's with the underwear?

In one trip, he picked up 60 pieces of aluminum, 88 pieces of plastic, 12 glass items, and 18 pieces of cardboard and scrap, including scrap metal. That was 178 items in one trip. He makes a lot of trips out there on his days off.

He has a goal of 100,000 pieces of trash, and he might just reach it sooner than you might think.

Honestly, what's wrong with people? All anyone has to do is take that stuff they bring out there, home, or to a trash bin someplace. Inconsiderate, lowlife slobs.

According to the National Park Service, Visitors and operations across the U.S. National Park system generate and manage roughly 80 to 100 million pounds of waste and trash every year, serving over 300 million annual visitors

Roughly 77% to 81% of documented stray litter and localized debris consists of plastic items (such as fragments, wrappers, and bottles). Cigarette butts, single-use food and beverage containers, bottle caps, and packaging wrappers top the recovery lists.

Rather than taking all of this junk to a landfill, I'd like to take it to the homes of the people who dumped it and leave it in their living room. But I bet their homes are already pig sties. They probably would not notice.
