Clean my commute: 84 waterlogged Washington Post newspapers in their plastic bags

I got tired of seeing litter during my daily evening commute and decided to enlist my friend Heidi to help me clean the 1/10 mile stretch of the I-66 exit ramp in Vienna, VA. We found 84 putrid, waterlogged Washington Post newspapers in their plastic bags, along with the usual suspects: single-use plastic bottles, fast food containers, plastic bags, cups with plastic lids & straws, liquor bottles, beer cans, cigarette butts, and other foul-smelling detritus in various stages of disintegration. We can do better for ourselves, for wildlife, for our watershed, and for our planet.
