Our parks around here get feral on weekends. Giant families come out, and its great to see them have fun. They play loud music, fine, they get a lil roudy, fine. The trash though. They buy, plastic single use items like plastic silverware, disposable grills, paper plates, paper towels, juice boxes (the straw wrappers can be found everywhere the next morning). They leave behind camping chairs, hammocks, towells, beach blankets, plastic toys, plastic water bottles, empty can, baby diapers (ew) Chicken bones. Leave behind dorito chip bags, little pieces of foil, they dump thier charcoal, where ever the fuck they want.
Maybe not the same family everytime, but the parks go through this every weekend. They roll into the lot with giant SUVs, and leave behind a lot of trash and stuff. It’s actually insane.
Some people just dont care. Their kid found an empty frito bag in the water? they let thier kid play with it. The litter doesnt bother them, and they add to the pile. It disturbs me so much as an anti-consumerist, leave no trace, environmentalist. Like. Some people, just dont fucking care.
Edit to add, and Im sorry, but if these folks can afford to move thier kitchen to the outdoors every weekend, in thier giant 2020-2026 SUV’s, I dont think these are the type so strapped for cash they cant worry about climate change.
Or just busy partying on the beach every weekend.

Humans by and large are uncaring assholes, ive found.
People that won’t even pick up their own own trash are a special kind of turd.
Ive worked for the parks for years. Fastest way to lose faith in humanity.
Ugh, I bet. Thats terrible too, parks are some of our greatest gifts
