I've taken plastic bags and six-pack rings, and generated some trash from food and poop from the dogs and I've never left so much as a crumb on the beach. I'd sign a petition to keep rednecks and feral kids off the beach.
Rednecks and other assortments of trashy people for sure.
My mom had a boyfriend that would toss empty aluminum cans in the river when we were out on the boat.
One time after changing oil in his truck, instead of disposing of the oil properly, I was told by my dad to just take it and go dump it in the woods by house. So I did. Knew it was wrong, but still did it because I was a little kid. Another time, some oil or something had to be changed in his boat while we were at the dock. Instead of sticking it in a container and disposing of it properly, what does he do? Dumps it right into the river.
The dumbfucks back home always moan about the good old days when there were tons of fish in the bay. Now you can barely catch anything. Well, I remember back in the good old days, back when I was a little kid, the adults catching something well above thirty fish or more. More than you could ever eat in a very long time. All legal. Nothing wrong with eating what you catch. But why keep so many? Why not keep two or three and release the rest? Because you're a dumb redneck, that's why.
You aren't doing it wrong if no one knows what you are doing.
