(85,635 posts)in an isolated place is because I don't have any patience for this kind of assholery... I will go up and start berating the litterers and to the point of creating a major scene anymore. So I stay out along the wilderness edge to keep my distance from assholes like that. Sadly, they also come here to be like that too.

In some places, you will see signs with telephone numbers to call if you see someone throwing trash on the highway(s).

(2,412 posts)As a Portlander, third generation, I regularly pick up trash downtown or anywhere. The trash is part of the general deterioration of values and standards. This is due to ignorance and people think: Society doesnt care about me, and I am not a part of it. So i dont care about society. So many people have been left behind economically and they are rightfully angry. Trash is a result, part of ourI dont care, I dont have to care. Culture.
