[quote name='soccerlife945' post='10120' date='Mar 28 2008, 10:57 AM']My opinion on all this is. If you bring trash and throw it away its fine. You shouldn't havee to pick up after other people. Eventually, I dont think they will shut down the bridge. They will just have cops on scene and either 1 fine those people who litter. Or 2 Kick them off the bridge. As long as you pick up after yourself,, We should be fine. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />[/quote]
I'm glad you agree that you should throw away your own trash; too bad everyone doesn't act that way. But don't kid yourself. The police are not going ot hand out tickets or kick people out for littering.
My challenge is not linked to or motivated by the threat of the resource being closed to us. I believe that it is my duty, honor, blessing, mitzvah to the planet, the people and to G-d to leave everything and everyone I touch better than I found it/them. If more people felt even a little bit more this way than OUR environment and society would be better for all of us. There will always be idiots who I/we cannot change and who violate and will continue to violate our persons and our environment by thier actions. My challenge is to those of us who care enough about it to do more than clean up after yourself, clean up for yourself.
If someone else's trash blows into your yard would you wait for the "owner" to come by and pick it up? If someone elses trash is in the place where you are fishing would you pick it up or would you say "Its not my trash I'd rather stand here and look at it then clean up after someone else?"
I'm off my soapbox now,.. I leave you all to carry on in a manner appropriate to the sort of person you want to be.
I rant because there are no squid to talk about yet and I haven't fished in too long but I mean what I say.
