I agree, I can tolerate about everything else - but those damn diapers!
Here in Lopez the litter pickers have been taking the plastic bottles lately, too.
And the metal and aluminum guys are always busy!

I agree. Some [not all] are. The younger, better educated folks are well aware of the proper methods of trash disposal and have a peer group to
answer to.
That said.....one of life's great teachers has yet to enter the scene in Mexico....a cop with a big, fat ticket book for litterers. That will train a
person's conscience in short order. Until that time, we just have to accept what it is.
One thing I refuse to do; when some in the expat community gather together to clean a beach after a Mexican holiday....they can count me out. I

.
I totally agree with this statement, I think there was a discussion here on Nomads a few months back, about the beaches in down town San felipe, the
expats was wanting other gringos to rally around the effort to clean up the beaches, and not only that was wanting donations for trash bags
I dont think so |

I just saw the article using your link... and it does NOT say "Gringo trash".
In fact, if you ever witness an off road race in Baja where 'locals' come to watch... THEY leave all their garbage, beer bottles, and baby diapers in
the desert. Gringos for the most part are good stewards of the region and pack out what they bring in (and more if they have room).

All those are great, Goat, except the "what would nature do" one-------we all know what "nature" is capable of, and it ain't always
pretty-------witness the tornados in the mid-west lately, or the volcanoes in Indonesia and the Phillipeans, or the tsunami's in the last few
years--------THAT is what "nature" does sometimes, and almost everything in it's path is essentially destroyed or changed radically.
Lets leave that little "saying" out of the list.

Nah...not a bit, but I'll leave the flaunting to you. I might even pay Fu to give you another Roto-Rooter session. Sounds like you're becoming
impacted with yourself.

Our group, friends,and family have been to many of the Baja race's We always haul out what we bring, plus more. I have taken extra trash bag's to
hand out, help's a little. They need to Educate the local's that they dont have folk's picking up after them..I know the Score folk's are always
reminding racers and pit crew's to pick up after them self's.. I for one try to let the fan's in our area pick up after them selfs, 90 percent our
cool about it,,the others just play dumb,,thinking someone else will pick up for them,,Sorry for venting,,but were loseing the our clean
Desert's,Oh yea we haul our trash back to San Diego, Coustoms wont even open the
bags.
