Yesterday I was pleased to discover the trails that spawn from Brewery Hill Road in Fairmount Park. Unfortunately, I became quite distracted by the amount of pollution scattered throughout the woods. As I hiked farther, it became clear that the garbage was the remnants of a late night party. Though I personally do not understand the thrill of partying in the depths of the pitch-black woods, I can cope with the idea that others have different opinions. What I am unable fathom is partygoers leaving their trash behind.
This post is therefore addressed to college students and adolescents abroad. PLEASE pick up your trash! While dumping it may save you trouble in the short run, it creates even more trouble in the long run. It is a distraction from nature and leaves environmental lovers, like myself, quite frustrated.
