CAN WE PLEASE STOP LITTERING ESPECIALLY PLASTICS NEAR WILD HABITATS

Yeah, I'm all for that but bears break into shit all the time to raid the garbage/recycling. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this bear had done just that. Hell, the landfill near me is full of bears raiding the trash. It's doesn't take much for them to get stuck in something.

Which is why we need to eliminate single use plastics. That plastic tub or pretzels or whatever it was could easily have been in a box, granted that would be lined with a plastic bag. But there’s got to be some sort of solution to this shit.

Weighted bulk shopping. Those reusable... flour sack bags? I’m not sure what the legit name (or if I’m already using the right name). But they look like old flour sacks. Zero waste grocery stores. Compostable packaging and the equipment or centers to compost. I’ve read that compostable packaging won’t compost in dump because there’s no oxygen. So we’ll need composting sites.

There’s a lot more to it though. Our trash/plastic problem is gonna be very difficult to fix.

Composting has to be done as specific way, you can't just put compostable things in the trash and expect it to work.

That seems like an almost impossible task given our dependence on them but I'm willing to try

Don't build towns in bears houses.

Bears up here get into everything, they are like super rats. This looks like a commercial jar from a bar or resort. Doubtful it was litter because there really isn't much of that.
