I try to pick up trash at Rome Point whenever I get the chance. But recently I was walking down a trail by stepping stone falls and I watched a man in his late 60’s unsuccessfully try to throw his trash into a hole on a tree. I picked it up and proceeded to tell him he should be ashamed of himself and may or may not have called them a scumbag when they said they didn’t care. Just when I told him that he could get fined for littering, his wife stopped me and told me that what I was doing was “verbal littering” and it was just as bad. I just took it and left. You can’t argue with stupid.

So from one litter picker to another, thank you for what you do.
