TAKE THE PLEDGE!
«
on:

Last year I asked you to "Take The High Road".
This year I'm asking you to "Take The Pledge"
Every year we see a bunch of threads about trash and such left on the ice.
I'd like to suggest that we all "Take The Pledge" to carry a trash bag with us when we go on the ice..... for our own and what we find from others.
What an outstanding example to set!
Repeat after me;
I promise to take a garbage bag with me on the ice and to pick up any trash I see.
I promise!

P.S. Hey RG, if I locate the owner of said trash, Can I give it back to them ?

Agree, agree, agree.
Always amazes me how some "outdoorsmen" treat the outdoors.

I actually did that once Surf. Not on the ice, but ....
I went to hunt one of my favorite backyard squirrel stands only to find that some dirtbag had dumped a truckload of garbage bags, paint cans and furniture at the parking area. I did some sleuthing and came up with 2 discarded bills with an address. It happened to be down the street from my house.
I went to the house and the dirtbag was in the process of moving out. I did the "Alice's Restaurant" routine on him.
"Son, I found your name on this letter at the bottom of a pile of garbage......"
I gave him 60 minutes to show up and pick up the garbage or I'd call the DEC, State Police, County Sheriff and Coast Guard (it was along the canal. I told him that if he picked up the garbage and took it to the landfill (1.5 miles away) I'd let him off the hook. He showed up, picked up the garbage and I followed him to the dump.
I guess he irritated me a bit

Agreed. It is one of my biggest complaints about people out on the ice. Take it with you, you took it out there

I Pledge RG.
I have a tradition on every fishing trip. I pick up at least one thing on every outing. This is something I really got serious about when I started to take my oldest son out with me. I always talk to him about how "I don't understand why anybody would leave thier garbage just lying around". We talk about how that is not what we do and how it makes the outdoors look like a trash heap and takes away from the beauty of it (no matter where we are). It really feels good to know I'm getting the next generation started right. Once I get my two youngest boys going out with me (their only 2 1/2 so they have until next softwater season) we will be bringing home even more junk. If we each do our part things will hopefully get better.

You can count me in among the 500 RG. Now I just have to remember to buy a box of garbage bags keep some in my vehicle and the rest with the fishing gear. I'm old enough to rember the televison commerical with the crying native american standing in a pile of trash.

I will pick up any garbage I see. And if I dont have a garbage bag, I will just throw it in my hut like I always do. And clean it out when I get home.
