I agree the whales should be off limits except for the indeginous population..

I do know a whale, decent sized one, feed their families all year long.

What if they kill something that's endangered?

Start eating vegetarian. Like all people with a working empathy in 2018. 

And take care of your trash.

I still can't believe that our recycling programs aren't better here in the US...

Don't you guys still have that "landfill idea"?

Do you throw you trash in difference bins like in Sweden?

We don't have anything like that here.  I have a recycling bin that I fill up.

But what do yo do with the stuff in your bin?

Here in the US it all depends on where you live.  In some rural areas, recycling bins are a pit in the ground, sort of like this:

Many cities have bins like these:

In out town we have bins like these to put mixed recyclables that get sorted at the disposal site:

Geezuz Brian that first picture makes me want to gather team slap... sort through the mess for an address of some sort... take a little drive for a visit... aaaaand... "WHAP".

In our region, two outdoor enthusiasts dug through someone's trash that was unceremoniously dumped in the bush and did exactly that (minus the slap). They returned the trash- recording the interaction- and warned the shitbirds they would shame them if they did it again.

Good for them for returning the trash! 

One of the women I work with years ago was looking out the store window and saw a guy stuck in traffic toss a cigarette out the car window.  She ran out, stepped on the cigarette to make sure it was out, picked it up and tossed it back into the car through the window and said, "Here, I think you lost this!"

Those garbage pits like in the first photo-- it's disgusting.  You see them all over rural America.  I don't get it- people who live closer to nature seem to like to leave piles of trash in pits or strewn all around the yard. 

One time when I lived in the Bay Area, a friend went for a drive through a rural neighborhood in Northern California and drove past this house that had trash strewn all over the place and the friend called out, "Look!  Rural art!". 

In Rural areas they usually burn their trash.  The rumor is that burning plastic keeps away the bugs...

They do indeed!  We're in a semi-rural neighbor hood and it happens now and then.  About a month ago at around 11 PM this horrid stench started wafting into the house.  It was the unmistakable smell of burning trash.   It was a warm night and we had to close up all the windows.  Burning plastic smells bad and is toxic as hell, but the worst smell is burning cardboard.  That stuff stinks like... well, actually, I'd say worse than shit!

Burning shit actually does keep the bugs away, lol and doesn't usually smell if it's dry.

Burning plastic stinks bad...

I do like the smell of burning cardboard!!!
