Bottles of Beer As Litter

I've picked up hundreds of bottles and cans of beer over the years during litter pick ups. I've found full bottles of beer, too. I've never understood that.

This bottle was left on the white line in an empty theatre parking lot. It was empty.

Pemmican Beef Jerky

I am mostly a non-meat eater, so when I find empty bags that once held beef jerky as roadside litter, I learn something. Pemmican is not a brand name. According to Wikipedia, it is a mixture of fat and protein, eaten because it is nutritious.

I usually just grab a protein bar made with whey protein. Plus this source of protein usually has chocolate involved.

I dispose of my wrappers into a trash can.

And For Dessert

Baked Apple Pie
Just like the fast food bag I blogged about two days ago, this wrapper for Baked Apple Pie has a symbol of someone putting the container into a trash receptacle. Again, the box was tossed on the ground.

Bag of Litter

Bag of Litter
Some litterers will bag their trash and then throw the bag into the woods. I just do not understand littering.

During the past year, I have been working out of my car for various businesses. I buy a lot of coffee and snacks while I'm traveling around Davidson County. NOT ONCE, have I ever considered throwing the wrappers and cups in the environment!

I keep the trash in my car until I can recycle or throw it away properly.

Recycling will be a victim of the budget cuts in Wisconsin, according to this online article. Let's hope the mandatory recycling enacted by law has become second nature by now.

Fast Food Litter

Although this fast food wrapper has a symbol showing someone putting the bag into a trash can, diners refuse to get rid of their litter properly.

This was tossed out of a car. Then wildlife, probably an opossum, chewed on it.
