Ooohuhuhu... I hate seeing stuff like this. I've noticed that there isn't a whole lot of garbage laying around most places here in (more rural) Finland, mostly because recyclables have a pant when they are returned to stores for recycling and most paper waste is used for burning in saunas and central heating, but what I do see so much more of is graffiti. And it's like.. even prehistoric cave paintings aren't even safe, people destroy those with graffiti too, easily most of the younger generations because the older ones have respect for nature. I admit, I can simmer low with garbage laying around, just pick it up and have my grumble about it. But seeing stuff vandalized and graffiti'd, I'll go full blown EDP if I see that happening.

I was in a hunting club with some top of the line guys, professionals, ministers and such, almost everyone of them littered up the club property. I finally got fed up with picking up after them and gave them all a good talking to about defacing the club land with their thoughtlessness at the next club business meeting.

They had all been pitching out thrash for so long it seemed normal to them.

Ironic, the very same people that should care about the outdoors and how they are maintained with trash it, it is quite common here! I remember when I was a kid growing up on saturday/sunday morning cartoons.....they every weekend had a spot for (as I recall it) how would you like to live in a nasty iccky world like this ....showing garbage in the water, and land. I have never forgot those simple cartoons, and they will stay with me for life! If I catch ya. you will be reported!

Remember this?

  I fish alot in the summers and do the same everyyear. I also pick up lots of geese feathers.
  Nothing worse than fishing line on geese and ducks. I've even caught muskrats and turtles with scares from line. And once as a kid found a otter floating dead in a pond with line around his neck a front legs.
  Not to many days back I picked up a ball of line that streached 50 feet down the bank.
   VERY SAD
 

Yes, bad enough if you snag a line on something out in the water, can't get to it and have to cut it. Outrageous for someone to just leave line laying around when a minute or 2 is all it takes to cut it loose & ball it up to trash it later.
