I agree. People seem to be starting to realized that at some point, all that trash will have a lasting effect. Just take a look around at any of the places we fish. The banks of the canal are filthy. Styrofoam cups, beer cans, lure packaging, fishing line, clothes, etc can be found all over the place. How many times have we heard about fishing access being closed down because the neighborhood residents were sick of all the trash? Out of the people on these boards that smoke cigarettes, who doesn't think twice to toss their butts out the window or on the ground? Next time you're waiting at a stop light, look down on the ground next to you.
Fortunately, some areas of industry seem to be trying to take steps in the right direction. I've seen biodegradable plastic shopping bags and food wrappers showing a bit more prevalence. Consumer programs for recycling are increasing, with the help of many towns requiring residents to recycle.
