80 tons of trash
Trashiest fricking state with the trashiest fricking citizens ever. Littering should carry a death sentence, but there’d be no one left in this disgusting state.
SIAP, but littering is incredibly repugnant to me. It’s completely unnecessary and even animals don’t shite in their own dens. The fact that it’s epidemic in this state speaks volumes.

Eighty-one tons of Baton Rouge’s discarded waste sits in a 30-acre wetland. Plastic bottles, beer cans, and basketballs that have floated into the area from Wards Creek fill the swampy area, thick enough to walk on without touching the dirt beneath.

Maybe when they were weighing it all they could've thrown it away.

Aside from the lack of bugs up here, it was the most obvious difference.
When we go back home we are appalled at the amount of trash that's everywhere.
Just put it in a can. How difficult is that?

Never underestimate the trashiness of humans and their trash. Somehow, our species has found a way to trash up the highest peak on the planet, a place that is inhospitable to human life. There is literally not enough air for us to breathe and live there, but we've managed to pile garbage up to the Sherpa's ears.

If you think it’s bad in Louisiana, visit California.

Thus us the worst case scenario, but there are trashy areas all over the parish. DPW died very little cleanup. They do very little in the way of upkeep. Drive along the interstate service roads and ramps and witness the weeds, trash and damaged fencing.
Our tax dollars aren’t spent on clean up. We don’t have enough cops in the city. An independent group just said EBRSS is on the verge of collapse. What happens to our tax dollars?

Socioeconomic.... we have a lot of poor, trashy people. A lot.

Not justifying the trash at all but isn’t a homeless camp near there?
Either way DPW doesn’t bother with clean up until right before a storm is in the Gulf
But we have signs with SWB’s name on them put up at every intersection that’s getting a patch job

Anti-litter campaigns are racist.

I know where you can find 10 tons of Nutria Rat

Seems like a lot of aluminum cans for the homeless to pick up and sell.

People are trashy, and they have been trashy for a long time. Last time I was on the Comite and we walked some of the sand bars there was trash from the 80's on them... Sure there was a mix of new and old, but lots of old.
My MIL inherited 5 acres of land in Gonzales, it is on Bayou black or Black bayou... People trash that land all the time, her mother would never let anyone use it so of course EVERYONE who wasn't related to her used it and they treat it like public land. We entertained the idea of building there but the more time we spent on the property the more we realized it wasn't worth fighting the people that thought they should have access to use it... I mean they even have dirt bike and ATV trails throughout it now with tons of camp sites where people just leave their trash.

I bitched and moaned about it until the day I left. Sad part is that it’s only a symptom of much larger problems.
Spoiler alert: It’s won’t improve in our lifetime

True story, I've made a sailboat out of a canoe, 2x4s, plywood, tarp, and c-clamps, and sailed from the new mall to the Pecue bridge and back again during Tropical Storm Lee (2011)
A lot less trash traffic back then
