About the garbage on the banks of rivers...

With the ecology of our waters trouble. And it for anybody not a secret((. Industrial effluents, discharge of untreated sewage by cities and towns, pesticides, leakage of oil cause enormous damage to the ecology of reservoirs. A considerable contribution to this "dirty work" and make ordinary people spending their leisure on the banks of rivers, ponds and lakes. Including anglers...

(s) a Typical image with a lived-in fishing from the shore places.

There were times when I was running fishing from the shore. And opened the season on the Oka river immediately after the flood. Every time I saw the same picture. All coastal willow bushes which are overgrown Bank of the Oka, after the recession of water have been literally clogged with plastic and glass bottles, plastic bags, cardboard packaging from a juice...it was All on the ground and on the branches of the bushes. The picture is unpleasant. If caught stationary in a small area of the shore, then raked the debris into a pile and burned. A drop in the ocean, and not optimal in principle , the method, but at least something... It was in the late 90s, when cars of the people was not much, and recreation and parks "weekend tourists" was also small. In the early 2000s, the situation with pollution of the banks of the Oka rest citizens has deteriorated at times to Catch fish from shore at Oka was simply unpleasant. Sites and camps - just an incredible amount. And under every Bush in one picture...

"After us the deluge..."

This, incidentally, was one of the reasons why I 2001-2002 switched to boat fishing.
No, I myself, too, "ideal purity" was not. Of course, large debris (bottles of drinking water, empty packet from eating sandwich) I put it in the backpack, and then threw it in the trash on the base. But a cigarette butt would not hesitate much to throw on the beach, stamped out in the sand. Not now. Carry ashtray with lid and on the beach and in the boat ( have a peek at one of the Japanese who came fishing on the Volga. When he saw it, smoke in the boat, took out the ashtray and hid the cigarette butt into it, at first I was taken aback. Now it has become a habit in itself...).

Well, it's ,like, a digression.

In principle, to the shores of our rivers were not similar to the dump and the trash, just something simply need to follow the simple rules.
On the Bank, the organization of the Parking lot, immediately to take place in household garbage, placing there a couple of big packages (120-180 gallons). To go all big plastic waste and not burnable packaging. The filled bags then take with them and dispose in the nearest garbage container. Same thing when organizing your place for coastal fishing.
For the administration of natural needs to dig a hole and not foul all the surrounding bushes.
All paper waste and paper packaging to burn.
The fire pit before leaving to clean from unburned waste, throwing them in a pit latrine. The pit before leaving to bury. All! After you Parking place will remain virtually clean and suitable for the next visit.
In the boat all the more easier. All the same garbage bags ( we with Dima in the glove box of the boat always have a couple packs). There all waste. Packaging, bottles, banana skins, cigarette butts out of the ashtray). Returned to the Marina or to the base - thrown in the trash. And the river is not dirtied, and the boat clean.

Want of cleanliness on the banks of ponds, where we will spend time with their families and themselves - start with yourself! Saturdays , raids for purity and other similar events is good. But if everyone starts to clean up after themselves, and they do not need.
Because you want to and we and our children and grandchildren have seen a clear river, clean beaches, calm swimming in a pond near the cottage, and was not looking for a clean place among the mountains of garbage, to play in the sand.

And I want...
