    We need to charge deposits on bottles and cans-people wouldn't be so quick to throw them on the ground and other people might be motivated to pick them up.

    Man I love the sanctity of trees but this was a bit over the top. :) So I'll dedicate this song to them called THE TREES by Rush.

    My wife and I went to The American River for our walk today and the first thing I saw was a pile of orange peals thrown on the ground at the edge of the small parking lot and some in the weeds along the side.  I made some comment to my wife about people not realizing this is littering.  She told me that it wasn't until several years ago that she me me that she hadn't known that.  Now she knows better- it take orange peels take a long time to break down (as much as two years).  The same is true for other types of so-called "natural trash" like banana peels, nut and seed shells, even (to a lesser extent) apple cores.  And these things are frequently tossed on the ground in places where they are not native.
    Pure and simple, this is littering.  Please, pack it out.  Thanks!
