storm water litter from Mobile's waterways after heavy rains. You probably think, "Not my problem."
These are photos taken today in Big Creek Lake in Mobile, AL, USA. Big Creek Lake supplies the City of Mobile their drinking water. Complaints about this trash were made over a year ago and it has not been removed yet.
Hey Mobile - what is in your drinking water? Public Garbage. Would you empty the contents of unmarked bottles and empty the contents of unmarked aerosol spray cans into a glass of water and drink it? Now do you care whether or not the City removes the public's illegal litter from their public waterways? I hope so.
