Bob Woodruff Park, Plano

Yesterday we went to Bob Woodruff Park in far eastern part of Plano, TX. This is one of the oldest green spaces accessible to public in the city. There are really tall trees in the park and a huge area of the park is earmarked as wilderness area where people don't usually venture. This is a wonderful venue for a wide array of outdoor activities. For people there are walking, bicycling and hiking trails and a lake for fishing enthusiasts. A creek dissects the park and provides the greenery the much needed water resources.

Unfortunately here is where the human nature gets exposed. The creek is littered with plastics, tires, and other rubbish. I wonder even in the supposedly law-abiding nation of USA there are people who indulge in illegal and mindless dumping of wastes into creeks. Don't they know that this creek feeds a larger reservoir which provides them with drinking water? I don't know what drives such people who litter and destroy the beauty and tranquility of the environment. I hope the law enforcement and parks and recreation agencies of the city of Plano take action to punish the guilty and prevent such dumping from happening again.
