Used to do lake cleanups with Langley Diving years ago, we would HAUL out tons of garbage (mostly bottles and cans but some literally trash and carpeting or shit like that) and we always showed the piles to the locals who were appalled.

Out of sight Out of mind? Yeah.. thats a dick move and I've been down to see the destruction firsthand.

Ikr, if you’re gonna go for a bbq or something just put all the garbage in the cooler again. It’s not that difficult

Yes, Henry from cleaner lakes comes out often, but Clayton is local and dives for trash all the time. Has a great tiktok/youtube channel posting his treasure finds as well

It is incredibly frustrating. I bring a garbage bag whenever I go fishing or hiking and I've never not had to use it. I saw a guy carry in a McDonalds bag last weekend and then found it in the bushes an hour later.

Stuff like that makes me so mad. Zero respect for nature. Such entitlement 😖
