The bank holiday is over.
So is the hangover. But not the mess.
The National Trust is pleading with people to grow a pair and actually care where they dump their waste after Carding Mill Valley got absolutely buried in rubbish over the long weekend.
It was beautiful there, sure. Throngs of people reconnecting with the dirt. That’s what they like to highlight. The wonder of nature.
Except the wonder wasn’t the only thing on the ground.
Trash was there too. Piles of it. The Trust notes the impact is serious. Landscape doesn’t care about your feelings if you leave it broken.
Shropshire Young Farmers had to show up to fix what you didn’t clean. They bagged it. They carried it. Because apparently some grown-ups think forests have trash cans.
Take your junk home. Dispose of it properly. Leave it how you found it.
Hard to believe that concept doesn’t stick. Why do we always treat wild spaces like someone else’s bin? 🗑️
