Some beautiful places on this earth.
I'm wondering if it's the same in other formerly rural places...each home had a place where they "dumped" their garbage, bottles, trash. There was no trash pick up and composting was unheard of. You drove a vehicle or used a tool till it could no longer be repaired - and then you dragged it to the edge of a field/tree line and dropped it
A few "drag and drops" - they never completely decay back into the earth, they do become homes for some animals, but they also tend to leak chemicals into the soil. Some become long lost treasure parts for someone looking to restore old vehicles.

April 22nd is designated "Earth Day" but many communities have celebrations and activities scheduled throughout the week. This challenge includes human impact on the earth, any activities your community might have (clean ups etc), climate consciousness, and efforts to be kind to our climate. Include weather impact if you can. Can't think of anything? Show us the terrain in your neighborhood - rocks, dirt and mud are totally acceptable in this challenge.
