Boston Marathon Route, Fisk Pond and Vicinity, Natick, Nature and Trash, 05/02/2016

These photographs were taken on May 2, 2016 along the route of the Boston Marathon in the vicinity of Fisk Pond in Natick. Their purpose is to raise awareness of the problem of pollution of wild areas caused by the careless disposal of drinking cups, energy gel wrappers and similar items.

I haven't posted all the photos of trash I took. I have more than 100 photos of discarded wrappers or cups and I didn't photograph all that I saw.
