Today, I had to go to the store.  Instead of driving, I decided I would walk and take a detour into the woods.  I took a few different paths I already know of and found and took a path I'd never noticed before.  As I was trying to navigate and avoid the branches, twigs, thorns, and holes in the ground, I suddenly noticed that there was trash everywhere.  Empty bottles, candy wrappers, articles of clothing, paper, and other stuff was just lying around.  There was a lot of it.  What's really strange, though, is that except for one time, I've never encountered anyone in these woods, and I hike in the woods a lot.  That means that whoever goes in there is too lazy to take their trash out with them, they don't care at all about the environment, and there are a lot of people who do this.  I also notice that there's nobody to clean the mess up.  I guess those woods represent peoples' attitudes towards the Earth and their lack of respect and lack of caring for what they aren't interested in...
