You're not getting much exercise if you keep stopping to pick up litter, gotta keep that heart pumping.

Unless you use one of those gizmos that aid in reaching high places and picking up trash on the ground.

Agree. We were driving behind a truck that had those trash bins that you see in parking lots. Out pops a large crushed up box, then a plastic bottle, then a huge piece of paper of some sort and that was all in a matter of 5 seconds. I can imagine the trail of debris that truck left because there was nothing to contain the trash that was being hauled.

Kudos.

I too do a lot of walking, along the MMP that parallels El Camino Real mainly. And yes--a LOT of stuff is tossed. The maintenance people do pick stuff up when they mow but there seems to always be a fresh supply of trash. Quite a few of those little liquor bottles ("Fireball" whiskey, those little one-shot vodka bottles, etc.), a LOT of cigarette butts, empty wine bottles, empty beer cans, you name it. A couple of weeks ago I spotted a pair of men's undershorts.

Amazing. I wonder if these litterbugs the same kind of pigs at home as they apparently are on public paths.
