San Francisco Bay Area residents go to Lake Tahoe, then trash the place. This is what happens when you don't believe in personal responsibility. You always expect someone else to do the right thing for you.

Be smart. Be respectful.” “Don’t trash our future. Pack your trash.” “If you don’t pick up your trash, you are the real trash.” Tahoe, an increasingly vocal group of locals say, is tapped out — by packed beaches, lax adherence to health safety measures, and overflowing trash cans and refuse scattered along once-pristine strands and trails.
