Column: Hideous, shameful, grotesque: Rains push mountains of L.A. trash into Ballona Creek
to create a parcel tax that pays for conserving and cleaning stormwater in coming years. But we still live in a throw-away, fast-food society, and a shocking amount of trash is still finding its way into Ballona Creek and the L.A. River. In 2007, Ithe muck of Compton Creek in waders, taking a look at what washes into the Los Angeles River.
“At the bus stops all around my neighborhood we have overflowing trash cans. Even if we try, residents of the city are walking around without enough options” for disposing of trash, said Luce, who told me she no longer drinks coffee if she can’t use a ceramic cup and the only option is a disposable container.
“My dad showed me how to pick up trash along Lake Michigan when I was seven,” he said. After his father’s death, he picked up trash with his Boy Scout troop along waterways in Chicago. Peters was hoping the boom had done the bulk of the job, but as he cycled several hundred yards toward the sea, he saw that tons of trash had gotten through. It was low tide, exposing a wide band of junk that clung to the creek bed.A crew of 10 could have attacked the mess for a solid eight hours without making much of a dent, but Peters began going at it one item at a time, and he had a plan.He pulled a plastic strapping band out of the water, saying he’d found birds strangled by the stuff.
“I was surrounded by some guys who’d left their beer bottles on the beach, and it was hair-raising,” he said. He said he got laid off from his last job for a marijuana dispensary, but has saved just enough money to get him through the next few months, and then he plans to move back to Hawaii and pick up trash on the beaches there.
