Before covid many (to include myself) would not hesitate to pick up a used cup or fast food bag left by another and properly dispose of it. During covid many folks were nervous to do so. I see masks all over the parking lots of Walmart, sams, Publix, etc. those businesses should be cleaning up their lots before it blows away. Why not tell the store manager that the lot is looking like a trash dump? Let the store manager know. Keep a plastic grocery bag in the car for trash and discard it daily. Those bags are free when you get you groceries. Why not use them? Why don’t we, as a community, simply say something when we see someone litter? All this talking about the problem doesn’t solve it. We probably all need to be a little more proactive
