Instead, we found whole piles of garbage people had left behind on purpose!

We didn’t find the occasional can or bottle sitting in the sand ~ we found carefully stacked cases of empty beverage containers that people were too lazy, indolent, or ignorant to take with them when they left.
We didn’t find isolated cigarette butts here and there, we found mounds of butts that people were too self-important to pick up and dispose of properly ~ despite the fact that Manatee County installed ashtrays up and down its beaches to help stem the tide of butts left behind by butt heads.
Nice job nrhatch! Thank you for taking care of our ecosystem and being so kind! Your help sharing light to the amounts of trash spread throughout the environment shows what the reality of our plastic and trash situation is.
