Yeah, it's pretty bad. Go to New Zealand and check out how they operate over there. A world of difference. The nature preserves are pristine. Being an island, waste is expensive. Their culture seems to embody self-sufficiency and conservation.

Where I used to live, there was a lake with naturist & 'textile' areas. Trash cans all around. During the summer, a cleaning crew would go round early morning.

After a hot summer day, the 'textile' area would be littered with candy wrappers, chips bags, beer cans, bottles (+tops), small trash bags, forgotten children's toys, the odd piece of clothing or towel, cigarette buds, etc.

On the nudist area: practically nothing. Despite often more crowded than textile area. A world of difference yet same lake & same day.

It's just different mentality of people visiting an area.
