MOOSE ON THE LOOSE, including a Top 10 Litter List of clean up items on land & sea
While interacting in The Great Outdoors, we sometimes get so caught up in the beauty and serenity that we forget that we are staying the night in Wildlife's House.
If you're a nature lover, you're probably appalled at items that get discarded so easily along the trails and in the campgrounds. Chewing gum, plasticware, paper plates, foil, empty cans, cigarette butts - and so forth. Many people that litter are under the impression that these items quickly disappear into the soil, but the truth of the matter is that it takes many years before trash disappears.

Moose, deer, raccoons, possums, squirrels - and so many other animals are on the loose through these used lands, and when hungry, they will munch on what's been left behind. What should we leave? Only footprints!
But for those careless Nature-Wanna-Be's who don't, picking up behind them is one of the best things we can do to keep nature in its natural state.
TOP TEN LITTER CLEANUPS IN LAND & WATER DURING 2003
According to ICC: Cigarette butts & filters, food containers (including wrappers), container tops, plastic beverage containers, glass beverage containers, beverage cans, plastic dinnerware (spoons, knives, cups, etc.), straws, bags and cigar tips.
