It's Spring- Where did all the litter come from?

Driving to work the other day, I saw a black object headed into the road, I thought it was a dog, after slowing down not to hit it, the object was a plastic bag.

Made me think about the fields I pass daily. They are cluttered with these plastic bags.

The litter in the fields will be shielded by the corn and beans that are grown in the fields.

The plastic bags that are in the trees and the hedges and other litter will be in place for quite some time as homeowners turn these into the trash heap.
