Been hiking several times this year. One thing I notice on the trail sometimes is garbage that people leave behind. It really upsets me that people can’t carry their garbage out with them. They bring it in with them. Also went kayaking and the river bottom had these silver things on the bottom. Come to find out that they were cans thrown in the river by tubers.

Here is how long it takes for certain things to decompose:

An Apple core takes 2 months to decompose.
An Aluminum can takes 200 to 500 years to decompose.
A Plastic bottle takes 450 to 500 years to decompose.
