Trashy desert

How sad is this, and it’s a pretty mild example of trash left in the desert. People seem to think that the desert is so vast, nobody will see it, or that the sand will cover all that garbage up, but in fact it is blown into huge piles and is an eyesore.

Interesting to see how the garbage piles up against the fence. The oceans are getting filled up with garbage too. V

Sad to see, I remember when they used to just leave cars they damaged at the side of desert roads
