Had to read that title a few times to make sure I read it right.
Honestly I’m glad for progress too. But to me, it’s still not enough. I’m glad I didn’t get any comments about how little it was like I was thinking. I don’t care how little trash it is, I don’t want to see ANY of it! I think that’s what got me so enraged because I’ve been coming to this property for decades and never seen any amounts of trash and to see these straight up infuriated me.
I went to Iceland a few years ago and it was so clean. I couldn’t find one bit of trash anywhere, in any place of the country we visited. It made me feel sick to my stomach comparing it to my home where trash has become a literal part of the city streets. Gum and other spots and little bits of random trash fly around and it’s just another day for us.
I want so much better for our planet and society as a whole. It kills me being on a hiking trail and seeing the littlest bit of trash in the middle of nowhere. Takes me out of the experience and reminds me of the state of filth we live in and just feels so wrong to do to the one place where humans are not permanent, let alone our own neighborhoods.
I had no idea what it was like before my time, but it feels good to know we’ve gotten better about it, in some respects, especially judging by that picture. Glad we had people like you helping to make things better.
I thought about doing it to his cars since I don’t know where he lives. But I figured that might be just making it go back to where it came from, whether he gets mad and throws it somewhere else or it blows away. I’m not sure when he gets back too. He’s parking his cars here because he’s moving out of state and just wants to keep them here temporarily, so no idea when he’d get back to ensure he gets back his “lost property”.
Agreed, I couldn’t find a community named that accurately described my emotions. This will have to do.
I always remember the neon signs 99 Cents stores used to have saying “nothing over 99 cents ever!”
I wonder if that was intentional since OP hates copy pasting enough to equate with…something else that’s very distasteful online.
Yeah we do get those too, like “avoid downed power lines” which I can understand why they’d have ads for that, for public safety.
Just seemed weird to just tell people you exist when we have no choice but to have you. But other comments seem to provide good reasons for that.
Not in my area because I would take it in a heartbeat.
The only competition is solar, if you consider that a competitor. Other than that, you use them or you have no electricity.
Hmm…that’s an interesting point. They don’t claim to be a local entity, they’re known to operate for almost half of my state as a corporation. But where I see your point is that this may be a corporation trying to make their image feel more down to home. “We’re not like those other big, bad corporations. We’re your friends!”
I never thought of that before.
Not that I’m aware of. I’ve gotten letters like that for my trash collection and I think gas company, but nothing for the electric company.
Congratulations!
Shame you had to, but it’s always good news when David beats Goliath.

Just curious, how often do you have to do your taxes in Sweden? I got the impression from your comment that you have to do them regularly, like daily or weekly, but maybe I’m wrong in that assumption?
In the US, we just do them once a year. Unless you count someone who is actively paying the government back in a loan form, where they send a check on a monthly basis, like I did when I helped a family member, because they underpaid in a previous year.
