Americans were encouraged to make use of parks and other open spaces to deal with covid restrictions.
Here's a photo I took when family and I went for a stroll at out reservoir.
Apparently folks venturing out of doors for the first time in their lives had no idea what to do with their bottles and food wrapping.
The next day we brought 50gal trash bags, and with the park Rangers they hauled it away.
Crazy times (standing at dawn before an armed grocery store to get toilet paper)

Sad....
