Shopping Cart Keeping America Beautiful

To some shopping cart = trashcan.

And yes, those colored bags you see are full of dog poop. Also inside was a Taco Bell wrapper, grocery bag with god knows what, a Starbucks cup, and then some random reflector off of a bike.

We regularly find dirty diapers, packaging from whatever some Nasty-Ass Theif stole, fast-food bags, and beyond stuffed inside the carts at our store. People are so filthy....it's a good thing I'm a squirrel.

"Jeez! It just looked like a place where I should dump my crap. Somebody will clean it up, won't they?"

Spritzy: So that's what you are! Haha

My co-worker found a dirty diaper underneath a table of men's jeans. Pretty gross considering that store has a changing table and trash cans in the bathroom. Anyway, in the city I live in know, there's a small strip of land between some tall brush and a house where people always throw there garbage. People also throw garbage over the hedged of the house I live in too. Like entire bags of trash. Haha

Ridiculous.

...throw THEIR* garbage.

... the HEDGES* of the house...

When I was but a young sprite, not even out of high school, I signed up for a summer working in the Youth Conservation Corps. We cleaned miles of highways, streams, trails, and parking lots within a National Historical Park. You wouldn't believe the garbage people threw out of their cars. I was taught from a very young age that the only thing you were allowed to throw out of your car was apple cores and banana peels because they would compost. My mom was right... I never found one of those. However, the cigarette butts could easily fill 5 large garbage bags.

I think we raised $45 in aluminum and steel cans (by weight!) and about $30 in bottle deposits and we also found a check for $2500 (which of course had been canceled by then) which we returned to the rightful owner.

But I'll never forget the night we went out to dinner at a fast food restaurant, and just as we were getting ready to pull the bus out, one of the other girls threw her drink cup out into the parking lot! The leader/driver was so incensed, he made her get out, get her cup, walk into the restaurant, and throw the cup away and apologize to the manager for dirtying his parking lot! LOL! You'd think all those weeks of cleaning up after other people would have sunk in!

It wasn't in a shopping cart, but it was by the cart corral. I was with Spritzy and there was a bottle knocked over, so I decided to kick it, and liquid came out. I didn't think that it could be something other than what the bottle labeled it until she mentioned something about it. Yeah - people are nasty.
