People live in the country. People own land out there. We like the country to look clean and pristine ... but it's hard when litterers drop stuff everywhere.
I take it none of you litterers cycle in a fruit orchard area?? You'd have a whole different perspective from the nonsense about it being OK to throw out fruit scraps.
if you think thats bad, guess what i have to put up with?
idiots dumping their water...and not just in ditches, but in forests and parks...my neighbor EVEN SPRAYS IT ON HIS LAWN!
i was all like gtfo nayburr y u gun dew dat?
i live in a rural area. ever had a pear or apple tree? they fall a lot. bees, yellow jackets, etc come by...sometimes at night skunks, possum, or dogs eat it. as stated earlier, it takes under 5 weeks MAX for fruit and vegetables to disappear (degrade or eaten). you wouldnt believe how fast egg shells and banana peels can disappear into plants.
you are completely blowing this out of proportion. do you often have large pelotons discard organic matter into the earth areas around you?
