Our Society

How many people like to experience nature and see the world as it should be? To those individuals nature is a great area to relieve stress and just clear your mind. This weekend I decided that I needed to clear my mind. Just forget about school, work, and all the problems in my life and just hike. I choose to go hiking along a small creek up on the Ortega Highway. I had hopes of completely letting go and not caring about anything in the world.
However, I started to Hike beside this creek and was soon very disappointed. I only walked maybe twenty feet and already there was trash scattered all over the bank. There was electrical wire all along the bank that was just discarded. I saw fish swimming around and inside bottles just laying on the creek floor. The farther I walked on the more disgusted I became with our society.
How can somewhere so pure and innocent be treated so cruelly? My question in the first place is how this much trash ended up up there? Do people just take their trash up to the creek and dump it? There was so much trash I could not believe it. What has our society come to that we through all our trash around. This concern really bothered me and actually ruined my trip up there. By the time I had finished my hike I had developed a headache and was not enjoying myself at all. Maybe this will be a lesson to people to watch where they throw their trash.
