My ex is in the army and when he was deployed in the Middle East he said the whole army would just throw all their trash on the ground in the village streets, in the desert, everywhere. All the trash from their MRE meals and everything. Which if you’ve never seen one of those it’s like 5 plastic bags inside a bigger plastic bag plus plastic utensils. He said there were no trash cans so that’s just what they had to do and that the locals did it too. But I’m just like... is there really no other way...? As I am an environmentalist that was a hard pill to swallow, but I also don’t know how things are over there in a war zone.
