80 tons of trash


quote:

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.


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.

Rant over

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?

Well I guess that makes it ok then. Every state has crime too you mouth breathing inbred troglodyte. The idea is to clean it up and not litter at all.

You’re probably one of the sorry frickers who
Leaves shite in the bed of his truck so it can fly out on the road.

You are part of the problem.

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

I’ve witnessed countless occasions of people dumping trash out their window or door. It’s a real problem all over BR, and the surrounding parishes. It’s the same collective group that don’t have car seats for their children. Not sure if it’s a culture thing or ignorance. Perhaps both?

Anti-litter campaigns are racist.

Horse shite. Littering isn’t class specific. I’ve seen people on six figure fishing boats in Grand Isle throwing entire garbage cans of shite off their boat. In the fricking Marina.

If I could blame this all on poors, I would. But take a look around next time you’re at a stop light in the toniest BR subdivision. You’ll see a shite ton of cigarettes and cigarette butts on the ground. It’s a cultural thing around here. It
Might get cleaned up occasionally, but people litter all over again.
